Neil Sedaka got away with the "B-word" in Bad Blood (with
Elton John on prominent backing vocal) in 1975. Radio also had no problem with "Rich Girl" by Hall Oates in 1977. Seems like people were generally less uptight about such things back then, especially if it was as catchy as those songs were. |

There was a local adult oriented music station back in
1977 that aired a special edited version of "Rich Girl" they received from WWWE in Cleveland. They edited in "You're A Rich Girl" for each instance of "It's A Bitch Girl." I still receive clean radio edits from my current music service (Promo Only) and have other Xtra Clean Edits from my many years receiving TM Prime Cuts. One of Prime Cuts edits on "Hollaback Girl" completely mutes the word 'shit' in the song. The regular clean version left the 'sh' part intact. |

This promo CD Singles was actually under the title of: "Bitch (Nothing In Between)" In Australia, the song was released under that title, which is hilarious, since most Aussies curse worse than a drunken sailor. |

Keep in mind that this was before the Janet Jackson Superbowl incident where individual tv stations got fined by the FCC for allowing her "wardrobe malfunction" to go over the air (even though they had no idea it was coming). Stations got a lot more paranoid about airing material with questionable language after that. I believe around the same time the Canadian counterpart of the FCC got very strict about language/content too. |

Aaron thanks for letting me hear it. Takes all the fun out of the song removing the Bitch part if anyone is curious.
