Bell Biv Devoe - Poison & Do Me

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.

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.

regarding the song "do me" i have a german import cd single issued as mca 9031-72498-2LO with the below tracks

1-uk edit (3:32 listed; 3:32 actual)
2-mentally hip hop mix (8:53 listed; 8:53 actual)
3-east coast mental mix (5:37 listed; 5:29 actual)

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.
