Pat:
I have a stand-alone digital single download of Green Day's "Holiday" from I-Tunes and the track description states: "Faded Ending" and carries a run time of 3:53. Meanwhile, on Green Day's parent CD American Idiot, I believe "Holiday" segues directly into the next track on the disc, which is "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". The digital single of "Holiday" of course fades out right before the point where "Boulevard" would begin on the American Idiot album. This information should probably be covered in the database. Also, can anyone spot any specific differences between the "clean radio edit" found on the DJ CD single and the 45 or LP version? |

| Well, I believe the album version says "kill all the fags who don't agree." I would have to guess they edited some part of that from the clean radio edit, but I don't have a copy to check. Nice detective work on all your recent posts, Todd! |

| Yes, I was thinking that very same thing about the "clean radio edit", Aaron. By the way, my commercial single download contains the "kill all the fags that don't agree" lyric. |

Here is my promo CD single information for this song:

Interesting, Jim... It's beginning to look like the "Clean Radio Edit" may be identical to the commercial digital single release I outlined in my initial post.
And by the way, Jim, thanks a million for each of your responses to my flurry of recent inquiries on the message board! |

My copy of this song is from TM Century. Labeled as 'Amended', the word fags is totally muted from the lyric.
In other words, "kill all the ____ that don't agree." ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

| You might have the "Pop Edit" on your TM Century disc, John. What's the track's run time? |

The run time is 3:52 with a kinda fast fade on the music decay at the end. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

Evidently, I got confused with Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", which does have a "Pop Edit". I'm not aware of such an edit for "Holiday". |

| Since we're on the subject, I've heard versions of "boulevard..." on the radio that cut out the guitar intro an start with the vocals. Is this an official edit or a radio station edit? |
