That's correct.

> And your comment only makes me only *more* curious about the situation Jimmy described. How does Mix 98.5 deal with other songs containing the word in question-- or, for that matter, songs containing other words that certain listeners consider profane? 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...

I think Mix 98.5 is consistent about not playing those words in any song. My complaint is that truncating a song is worse than playing the full song with a word blanked out.

One song they play with words blanked out is Alanis Morrisette's You Oughta Know.
