Yes, that's a good summary. I suppose the Album Version is considered the official single version (A-side of the cassette single), but it didn't get any airplay. It's not censored even on the promo CD single.

As for the Metamorphosis Mix and the edits, they are all the same mix. Both the Radio Edit and Radio Version censor the "n" words, while the full Metamorphosis Mix is uncensored.

Aside from the censored lyrics, both the Radio Version and Radio Edit are totally different edits of the longer mix. For example, each has an edit during the call-and-response "whoa...yeah" section at the beginning of the song, but the edit points are in different places when comparing the two. Also, as I mentioned earlier, the Radio Version retains the ending of the full Metamorphosis Mix, so it's a straight edit ending cold with chicken sound effects. The Radio Edit, however, has an out-of-sequence edit at 3:34, jumping back to the chorus that appears at 2:41 and then fading out.]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2025 20:38:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926&PID=67326&title=people-everyday-arrested-development#67326 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926&PID=67325&title=people-everyday-arrested-development#67325 Author: The_Bops

Thank you, Aaron, for the additional information. So to summarize from what I gather, there were two main versions, the album version and the Metamorphosis Mix with the latter being the more popular version (both appeared on the commercial cassingle but the Metamorphosis Mix was the one played on radio).

The Metamorphosis Mix then had an additional two edit versions, Radio Version and Radio Edit. The Radio Version was the one primarily played on radio.

So is it your opinion then that the Radio Version and Radio Edit are pure edits of the main Mix (with the N word removed as well as parts of the song cut out)? And by this I mean the Radio Version / Radio Edit didn't have any additional instruments or different arrangements, just pure edits of the Metamorphosis Mix?]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2025 19:47:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926&PID=67325&title=people-everyday-arrested-development#67325 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926&PID=67324&title=people-everyday-arrested-development#67324 Author: aaronk

The version I've always considered to be the "hit" and the one I heard on MTV and CHR radio is track 2 from the promo CD: Metamorphosis Radio Version. Track 1 (Metamorphosis Radio Edit) fades out during a chorus and doesn't have the chanting/babbling toward the end. By contrast, the official music video does have the chanting toward end and has a cold ending with chicken sound effects. TM Century also issued this version on HitDisc and GoldDisc as opposed to the "Edit" that fades out.

The official music video can be seen here:

I realize that the "Greatest Hits" album (https://www.discogs.com/master/226496-Arrested-Development-Greatest-Hits?) is not a U.S. based CD, thus it is not listed in the DB. It is available digitally. I purchased the first track for People Everyday. iTunes and Spotify states it as "Metamorphosis Mix" although on Discogs it is listed as "Metamorphosis Radio Edit". The screen print of the back of the CD (at least in the European edition) just states "People Everyday" with no further qualifier. Mess.

At any rate the version I got runs about 4:56. The first two seconds and about the last six seconds are chickens and other animals.

Just looking for some confirmation that this version is the same version that appeared as track 2 on the commercial cassingle on Chrysalis 50397. I also echo boynamedfoo from his question from 13 years ago in that the cassette single runs 4:52 but CD versions of this mix run 4:55-6. Thank you.]]> Mon, 29 Sep 2025 20:57:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926&PID=67322&title=people-everyday-arrested-development#67322 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926&PID=35180&title=people-everyday-arrested-development#35180 Author: boynamedfoo

Revisiting this topic, the DB indicates (DJ copies) run 4:55 with a printed time of 4:52, (Cassette single copies) run 4:52. But the 2 cds that contain that version both run 4:55 so I ask what 3 seconds need excised from those versions to created the cassette single (a quick fadeout perhaps?). ]]> Sat, 01 Sep 2012 17:00:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926&PID=35180&title=people-everyday-arrested-development#35180 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926&PID=23509&title=people-everyday-arrested-development#23509 Author: edtop40

Can anyone who has a copy of the full-length CD with the "Metamorphosis Mix" as a bonus track supply the info? We never really got to the bottom of that one, but I know for certain that some pressings have the non-listed track.]]> Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:36:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926&PID=23367&title=people-everyday-arrested-development#23367 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3926&PID=23274&title=people-everyday-arrested-development#23274 Author: Todd Ireland
