resend - BBC - Christmas song edit - PC madness?

[Sid Schweiger]

>>I think Allan Sherman's songs have been edited as if for kids' 
compilation albums, although Allan Sherman was writing for an adult 
audience back then, with suggestive allusions such as this one in "Camp

Grenada":

"And the head coach wants no sissies,
  So he reads to us from something called 'Ulysses'"

Or from "It's a most unusual play":

"There's no scenery, there's no lighting, there's no costumes -- oh, 
what art!"

Anyway, I hate the sort of edit done to "12 Gifts of Christmas" -- they

just snipped out the word "naked" rather than adding an audible bleep
or 
pause, so the song has a little "jump" in every verse, for those of us

old enough to remember the original version before it got
Orwellized.<<

I'll have to go back and check now, but I believe the version on the
limited Rhino release "My Son the Box" has the unedited version.
