   The database currently lists two of the tracks on the new Now 57 collection,  "Cake By The Ocean" by DNCE and "Same Old Love" by Selena Gomez as being the 'uncensored' versions. On my copy, both songs are censored. On "Cake By The Ocean", the line "Let's lose our minds and go f****** crazy" is changed to "Let's lose our minds and go crazy, crazy". On "Same Old Love", the s-word is censored in the line "That s***, it tears me up."

   Well I agree with you on the DNCE song but I question the Selena Gomez line "That shit, it tears me up" where there was a feeble attempt at editing the word shit but to my ears it still sounds like the full word.  Anyone else want to comment on this?

   I don't have the disc, but I'm listening to the 30 second sample of "Same Old Love" on Amazon.  It's definitely the censored version in the sample, which is the same version being played on the top 40 stations here in Dallas.

   It's probably the censored version.  It has one of the weakest "clean-ups" I've ever heard.

 It is a horrible edit. Not recommended at all. I just listened to it. Very disappointing to say the least.. | |

     Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

   I have a UK Radio Edit from Prime Cuts (I only have a 320 
 bit rate mp3) that completely mutes the words "that s**t." Perhaps there may be a CD single with this UK edit or it may be on a UK version of the NOW series? | |
