> To me, Jimmy's post made it sound as if the station had some sort of double standard (e.g., editing out the New Radicals lyric while allowing more questionable lyrics to slip through in other songs); that's why I ask. I've heard quite a few stations that will let a lyric through in one song, but play an edit for another song that cuts out *the same exact words* in the same context...

Oh. Well that would be different, then.

I still think a radio station would have the right to do that, given permission by the artist, but it would be a pretty sleazy unethical thing to do.
