That was - and is - one of those "will it be the radio edit?" joys that you
get only from listening to the radio.
"Devil Went Down To Georgia": "son of a gun" vs "son of a bitch"
"Jet Airliner": "funky kicks" vs "funky shit"
I'm sure there's plenty more, so let's have 'em! My only caveat for this
game is that the songs need to be actual hit singles, i.e., something that
one could have plausibly heard on top 40 or AOR radio in the '70s and early
'80s.
Oh, and whoever selected 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up" was on the money.

I hate that song too. Which made it weirder that I was one of the few human
beings who liked Courtney Love's solo album from a few years ago, which Ms.
Perry of the 4NBs largely cowrote.
