I'm not sure if this ever made it into the top 40 hot 100
charts but I do know it reached number 10 on the US dance and number 19 on the US rap charts in 1989. The video for Twin Hype's "Do It To The Crowd" runs 3:56 and is clean. Does anyone know if this version is on the US 7" promo (PRO-5255)? Also, has the short clean version ever appeared on CD anywhere? |

It was only released on 12" and promo 45 in the US, s̶o̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶e̶l̶i̶g̶i̶b̶l̶eR 2; ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶t̶ ̶1̶0̶0̶. [my bad; see later comment] It was more of an MTV and club hit.
The video edit can be easily recreated from the album version, known as the Club Mix on the 12". It just involves cutting out a few sections. No idea if this would match the promo or UK 45 though. I don't see any evidence in MusicBrainz or Discogs of the edit being on CD anywhere. Edited by mjb50 |

It has a censored word just before the 2:30 mark of the short version. I created the video edit a while back, but I also do not know if it matches the promo 45.

"Aww, shit"—you're right! :) Here I thought the cleanup was just removing the fake Andrew Dice Clay bit from the intro.

About that intro, one side of the promo 45 says "with intro" and has a slightly longer printed run time than the other side. Surely, if that's what they're referencing, it must be bleeped on the 45.

Does anyone know when this changed? If I recall, the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" made it into the top 40 on the strength of the 12" alone but I think this policy changed at some point. P.S. We're coming very close to Topic #10,000 -- what will it be? |

I don't know when it changed, but it was policy by the time the Billboard "How We Track The Hits" supplement was
published circa early 1988. The record must be commercially available in at least one of the four single configurations. (CD singles will be included if they become commercially available.) [edit:] Ignore this. I was thinking of promos, not 12"s. The four single configurations were 7", 12", cassette single, and cassette maxi single. Edited by mjb50 |

Thanks for all of the valuable information. To me it
seems like editing the "aww $%^" may be a tricky edit to recreate. I have to go back and listen to it a few more times (can't at the moment). Can someone explain how to create the edit to clean it up? If anyone can provide the edit points to save me some time that would be great. Also, since this track has appeared on many different compilations, what would be the best CD source to recreate my edit? |

Oof, I made a mistake. I can't explain why it didn't chart. 12" singles were allowed at the time that "Do It to the Crowd" came out.
When I said it wasn't eligible for the Hot 100, I was confusing 12" singles with promo singles. It's promos which were not allowed. That was until December 1998, when the chart rules changed to allow airplay-only tracks, i.e. album cuts and promo-only tracks. |
