The censored version sounds like an edit to me.  The censored edit of
this song is kind of a pet peeve of mine -- I mean, why edit it?  White
boy is offensive?  What's all that?  Besides, the edited version ends up
being out of best -- it adds about a quater of a measure... why?  I here
the edited version quite often, too...
