I recently heard “Money for Nothing” on the radio. They blocked out one word repeatedly:
Now look at them yo-yo’s that’s the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Money for nothin’ and chicks for free
. . .
See the little ______ with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that’s his own hair
That little ______ got his own jet airplane
That little ______ he’s a millionaire
. . .
No more “faggot” in that song. Censorship is here, and it’s in full bloom.
Sirius / XM doesn’t do that (yet). I heard that in the last couple weeks, nothing Bowdlerized.
in Britain, they just substitute the term “large meatball” ...
I bought the CD when it came out. So it still has the word in the song. Used to ____ me off when the radios station version inserted a moment of silence in place of the word.
I use Amazon Prime for my music and noticed they they removed the whole verse from the song.
No kidding. They changed the song?!?
