Olivia - "Bizounce"

There are at least five different edits of "Bizounce"
by Olivia out there, and that tally does not include
remixes. The version on the explicit Olivia
album, the version on the clean album, the two
versions on the US commercial CD single, and the
version on the US promo CD single I have are all
different.

The version on the explicit album runs (4:23) and has
the following structure:
     - Verse 1 (rapped)
     - Chorus
     - Chorus
     - Verse 2 (sung)
     - Chorus
     - Chorus
     - Verse 3 (sung)
     - Chorus
     - Chorus
     - Verse 4 (sung)
     - Chorus
     - Chorus
     - Chorus

The version on the clean album runs (3:34) and omits
the opening rapped verse and the first two renditions
of the chorus. This version replaces the explicit
lyrics with clean lyrics with the exception of the F-
word in the last line of the chorus, which is muted.
In the first sung verse, the word "Indo" is left
intact in the line "Ashtray filled with Indo". On a UK
promo CD single and on the Canadian BMG promo sampler
#17 (April 2001), this version is labeled 'G-Rated'.


The US commercial CD-single (J Records 80813-21026-2)
contains the following tracks:
     1. 'Explicit Version' (3:28)
             This version omits Verse 2 (that is,
the first sung verse) and two renditions of the
chorus.
     2. 'PG-13 Version' (stated time 3:28; I timed
it at 4:11)
             Unlike the clean album, this version
does have the opening rapped verse and first two
renditions of the chorus. The explicit words in the
rapped verse are muted or replaced with sound effects.
The sung parts are the same as the clean album
version, except the last line of the chorus which
replaces the F-word with 'eff' instead of muting it.
Like the clean album version, it leaves the word
'Indo" intact.
     Tracks 3 & 4 are snippets of other songs.

I have a US promo CD-single (J Records J-21005-2) with
the following tracks:
     1. 'Radio Edit' (stated time 3:29; I timed it
at 3:27)
             This version omits the opening rapped
verse and the first two renditions of the chorus.
Unlike the clean LP version, it mutes the explicit
lyrics or replaces them with sound effects instead of
replacing them with clean lyrics. And unlike all the
other four versions described above, it censors the
word 'Indo'.


The database indicates that this song appears on one
other CD (which I don't have), a censored version
running 3:27. The running time suggests that this is
the 'Radio Edit' (which mutes the explicit lyrics)
instead of the clean LP version (which replaces the
explicit lyrics). Or perhaps it is a sixth different
edit!

No, the 'G-Rated' version is identical to the clean
album version. The 'PG-13 Version' has the opening rap
that is not on either the 'G-Rated' version or the
'Radio Edit'.
