   My promo CD contains the following:

DPRO 50795

1. Edit (listed & actual 4:29)

2. non described version (listed & actual 4:47)

The versions on this CD have an additional edit that is not on my clean Greatest Hits CD.  At 2:20 (of the 4:47 GH version), there is a line that says "I want to get funked up when I'm chillin'".  On this promo, the words "funked up" are replaced with a whistle sound effect.  This also occurs at 2:01 on the "Edit" version.

Does the "45 version" also contain the words "funked up" at this point, or are they censored like my promo CD.  Do any of the database entries with the "45 version" contain the censored version without "funked up"?

	I also noticed that at 3:47 of the Greatest Hits version, the word "hoes" is left uncensored. The promo CD censors this word. And upon closer listen, I can't tell if it's "funked up" or "f--ked up," which is probably why they chose to censor it on the promo versions.

	The lead track on my commercial CD maxi-single (which I assume matches the "45 version" on the cassette maxi-single) leaves "hoes" and "f--ked up" uncensored (and I can't determine if it's actually "funked" either).
