Do you have a citation for that? I heard the orginal version on Sirius or over the air recently.

If you heard it on Sirius the entire Verse where the word Faggot was used has been edited out. It happened over a year ago, if not earlier than that.

I have Sirius as well and noticed it the first time I heard the censored version.

That happened back during Jug Ears first term. Canada got the ball rolling by deciding to ban the song. Clear Channel, which was buying up broadcast radio left and right jumped on the bandwagon.

Other songs have been censored as well. Gargle (Google) it.
