You rarely hear any "foul language" in Country Music... I find it somewhat amusing when I hear different versions of country songs on the radio...
Some examples -
Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
they way I know it: "I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."
censored version: "I done told you once, you sone of a gun, I'm the best that's ever been."
Taylor Swift - Picture to Burn
the way I know it: "So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy, That's fine I'll tell mine you're gay"
censored version: "So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy, That's fine and don't mind if I say...."
and what I've just heard....
Zac Brown Band - Toes
the way I know it: "I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand..."
what I just heard on Go Country: "I got my toes in the water...toes in the sand"
I mean....I guess SOME people could be offended by the original words / lyrics. But they say "bitch" and "ass" on prime time TV all the time?! I think that's why I don't get it. They say sh*t on basic cable - not just for HBO anymore... I'm pretty sure they've played Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue on the radio with the "boot in your ass" not censored - but maybe that's just after a certain time in the evening?
Anyone heard any other censored versions that they were kinda surprised by?
