   Oh yeah, the Rod Stewart song. That's 4 1970s songs with the B word. I heard all of them a lot during their heyday (still do for EJ and H&O) and most were left intact. I do recall that 1 or 2 stations in Boston replaced the line "it's a bitch girl" in the H&O song to "You're a rich girl". And I think maybe "Bad Blood" had the substitute I suggested above. 

As for Hykker's comment, I can't imagine a bitchless version of "Bitch". Unless Meredith sang a replacement words (which sometimes happens if an artist wants more radio airplay), I just can't imagine what kind of edit would be done. It would also make the original point of the song pretty meaningless. Since you have it, can you tell us what was done to make a non-swear version?
