| Ed, you'll know it right away. The dirty version is FULL of very explicit language. Think of all the dirty words you know and insert them in the song, and there you have it... |

| My latest Pop Annual states a time for this song of (4:28). I have a rare promo 45 for this song, obviously with the "censored" version on both sides. Both sides of it have both a listed and actual time of (4:24). Does anyone know where the (4:28) timing comes from? Ed, is (4:28) the listed time of your cassingle? And what would your cassingle's actual time be? |

does anyone know if this song was ever issued as a vinyl 45 or if it was only issued in the usa as a commercial cassingle as skyywalker 130, because according to the billboard charts from the period, it wasn't ever issued as a vinyl 45.... ------------- edtop40 |

my commercial cassingle issued as skyywalker 130 does not state a version or run time on either the cassingle itself or the cardboard sleeve, but the version on it is identical to the version listed below and runs 4:25.....in addition, i have it on strong authority that there was NEVER a commercial 45 issued under the label and catalog number of skyywalker 130.....this is one of a hand full of 1989 top 40 songs that was exclusively issued on cassingle....

| I wonder if the 2 Live Crew Rap Hot Line (pictured on cassingle sleeve) is still in service? |

The uncensored version will do more than that to you.

Did this get radio airplay anywhere? Wikipedia talks about it going to #26 "despite lack of airplay."
It's tough because the sample that would grab the attention of those who would complain is also a major piece of the hook that makes people like the song, I think. The "clean" lyrics aren't squeaky clean, but they're no worse than anything else that was on the radio at the time. It's that darned sample... ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

Yeah, this got plenty of airplay, especially on the more "rhythmic" leaning CHR stations. It hit #1 at KKLQ in San Diego and at WEGX in Philly, just to name a couple (when in doubt, always check the ARSA site). |

Did this one ever make to a Casey Kasem countdown? ------------- https://thelunarlaugh.bandcamp.com/ - Listen to The Lunar Laugh! |

It peaked at #26 on the Hot 100, so yes, it did make American Top 40. However, Casey had left the show by that time, so Shadoe Stevens was hosting when it was a hit. Casey's Top 40 show was based on the Radio & Records CHR charts, and the song never made it there, so we were spared having to hear Casey intro the song. |

Paul, thanks for that info! It's good to know. Could you tell me what the "ARSA" site is? I'll bookmark it for future reference.
LunarLaugh, going back to the (proven unreliable) Wikipedia, they claim: "Because of the controversy, the song's title was never mentioned by Shadoe Stevens when he played the song on the radio show American Top 40, though it did get mentioned on a Summer 1990 episode when the group's second top 40 hit, Banned in the U.S.A. was on the chart." I don't have any of those shows, so I can neither confirm no deny. (If true, this reminds me of the claim Casey Casem wouldn't say the name of the George Michael song, "I Want Your Sex.") ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

Don't you mean WIOQ? WEGX was the Mainstream CHR in Philly. |

Ooh, thanks for that link, John. Off-topic, but I was finally able to verify what had always been my recollection: that the song "Seattle" by Perry Como, which only made #38 on the Hot 100, was of course a giant hit in my hometown of Seattle, reaching #4 on KJR, the most popular top 40 station in the city at the time. |

I love the link, and I see where I can search by calls, city or state... but how would I search for the song? ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

Just click on "Singles" on the left side menu and type in the title. |

Yes, I meant WEGX. Looks like they were more mainstream. There was so much dance music hitting Top 40 radio at that time and sometimes the lines between "mainstream" and "rhythmic" were getting a bit blurred. It's all Top 40 to me! |

I was living in West Germany in late 1989 when "Me So Horny" broke nationally in the U.S. I was also a very avid weekly listener and fan of Shadoe Stevens' American Top 40 on the Armed Forces Radio Network. When "Me So Horny" debuted on AT40 in October 1989, I very clearly recall that Shadoe did mention the song title three or four times altogether (and sounded equally awkward and uncomfortable each time). After that initial week, however, Shadoe never mentioned the song title again and instead introduced it as: "And now, up next on AT40, it's 2 Live Crew". Then a very shortened edit of the song would play (I'm pretty sure it never lasted longer than two minutes), followed by Shadoe coming out of the song and only identifying it as being by 2 Live Crew, along with its current chart position. Then he would immediately move on to the countdown's next hit. I actually have a very rare, official station-serviced CD copy of an AT40 countdown show from late 1989 containing special liner notes indicating that the song "Me So Horny" had been specially programmed and tracked on the CD for easy bypass in case radio station program directors wished to opt out of airing the song altogether. Again, keep in mind that this was 1989. I can plainly remember how shocking it was to hear a song and title of such a sexually explicit nature being introduced and played on American Top 40, or on any standard CHR format for that matter, during this era. |
