Perhaps you could pop on your 12" promo if it's accessible, but I think
those are all remixes. The "radio edit" and non-described version are
shorter edits of the "Mental Mix". I believe one of the New Edition
compilations that feature solo hits uses one of the 5:27 versions. ]]> Wed, 09 Jul 2014 21:11:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=691&PID=41797&title=bell-biv-devoe-poison-do-me#41797 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=691&PID=41794&title=bell-biv-devoe-poison-do-me#41794 Author: chendagam

I have this promo:
http://www.discogs.com/Bell-Biv-Devoe-Poison/release/1582083

Why is the "radio edit" running 5:27? Also the no listed version is also running 5:27.

Good point, Steve. There are definitely other "colorful" phrases in the song that could have raised an eyebrow back in the day. We always played the LP version from a TM Century GoldDisc, and I don't recall anyone complaining.]]> Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:25:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=691&PID=22546&title=bell-biv-devoe-poison-do-me#22546 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=691&PID=22545&title=bell-biv-devoe-poison-do-me#22545 Author: Steve Sharp

I wouldn't think that "Clockin'" is nearly as offensive as "gettin' laid", or "me and the crew used to do her" which is still both in all versions of the song.]]> Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:04:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=691&PID=22545&title=bell-biv-devoe-poison-do-me#22545 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=691&PID=22544&title=bell-biv-devoe-poison-do-me#22544 Author: aaronk

I'm curious to know why your station thought "clockin'" would be offensive. In this context, it's merely slang for "watching," although there may be a definition that I'm not aware of.]]> Mon, 08 Jun 2009 07:15:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=691&PID=22544&title=bell-biv-devoe-poison-do-me#22544 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=691&PID=22543&title=bell-biv-devoe-poison-do-me#22543 Author: Hykker

Thanks to eriejwg for the mp3 of the "official" edit of this. I was a bit surprised that they left in the word "clockin'", which we were more concerned about getting complaints on than the word "ho". I took out the "clockin' the ho" phrase & replaced it with drumbeats from elsewhere in the song. Even so, I doubt this got any daytime airplay (being in a decidedly non-urban/rhythmic market). The station lost a lot of office/business listenership during a brief foray into AAA, we weren't about to repeat the mistake!

During my 8 year tenure as music director at this particular CHR we made any number of custom edits of songs. I only saved copies of a handful of them.

Thanks for info on the 'no ho' version.

I don't think I've ever heard the official "no ho" edit of "Poison". The CHR I was music director at for much of the 90s didn't go CHR until 1994, and (for some reason) didn't get serviced with this as a current in 1990 when they were soft AC! All I had to work with when I produced an edit for on-air use was a commercial copy. The only instance of that term I noticed was about midway thru the song where they said "keepin' one eye open still clockin' the ho". I replaced "clockin' the ho" with drumbeats from elsewhere in the song (or maybe I used the instrumental side...it's been a long time and I didn't save a copy of my edit of this one). Where was the other "ho" in the song?

As far as the instrumentals go, for some reason MCA put an instrumental version of the A side on the B side of their 45s in lieu of an actual other song. I don't know why.
