I can list a few:

 

NOW 48: Mya - "Case Of The Ex"

NOW 49: Blink-182 - "The Rock Show"

NOW 69: Nickelback - "Rockstar"

NOW 76: Jason Derulo - "Ridin' Solo"

Now 45: Cuban Boys - Cognoscenti vs. Intelligentsia

Now 71: Little Jackie - The World Should Revolve Around Me

 

Now Decades - George Michael - Fastlove (possibly on Now 35 too)

Now 71: Little Jackie - The World Should Revolve Around Me

 

Now Decades - George Michael - Fastlove (possibly on Now 35 too)

 

It's a different mix on NOW 35. I know every other spin-off which has the song has the explicit version. They even play this version on radio

Now 56: Sugababes-Hole in The Head

Yesterday, I bought the compilation album "The Trevor Nelson Collection 3". On the front cover, it has the Parental Advisory sticker, fair enough. When I was listening to Mya - "Case Of The Ex", on the album, the word 'shit' was edited out yet it wasn't edited out on NOW 48. Strange!!!

"Case of the Ex" was edited on the US Now 5 too. I was so thrilled when I got Now 48 though, and it wasn't edited. I hate edited music, especially when it leaves dead air in songs. I wish Now didn't edit their songs, but I guess they want to appeal to as many people as possible, especially a younger crowd that includes children and tweens.

They should do two versions of the NOW albums. A clean version and an explicit version

Not a bad idea. I think the worst editing I've ever heard on a NOW album is the mutilation of Dizzee Rascal's Bassline Junkie.

If not on CD, at least make them exclusive to iTunes. So when you click the album, it has the clean/explicit icon underneath and you click the one of your preferred choice then buy

NOW 72: T.I. featuring Rihanna - "Live Your Life", piss

Not a bad idea. I think the worst editing I've ever heard on a NOW album is the mutilation of Dizzee Rascal's Bassline Junkie.

 

That is easily the most hilarious clean radio edit I've ever heard :lol:

 

I DON'T NEED NO NO NO NO

I DON'T NEED NO NO NO THANKS

I DON'T WANT NO NO NOT TODAY

YOU CAN KEEP YOUR YUP YUP YEAH

:lol:

NOW 20: Prince - "Gett Off", they included the word jizz but beeped out the word ass

NOW 103: Dominic Fike - "3 Nights", f***ed

NOW 104: AJ Tracey - "Ladbroke Grove", they keep the word shit but beeped out the word yatty

Edited March 23, 20205 yr by Hadji

Princess Superstar - Bad Babysitter (they cut out 'bitch' in NOW 51 but not on NOW Dance 2002 Part 2)

Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For (NOW 60, 'hoe')

Roll Deep - The Avenue (NOW 61, 'shit')

Katy Perry - Hot N Cold (NOW 71, 'bitch')

For the Blink-182 song on NOW 49. Some copies have the edited version, whereas others have the uncut version. My copy has the clean version.

:'(

And Mr. Saxobeat on NOW 79 was shortened too much

 

NOW 60: Scissor Sisters - "Filthy/Gorgeous", You gotta keep your shit together

NOW 60: The Chemical Brothers - "Galvanize", Don’t be a prick

For the Blink-182 song on NOW 49. Some copies have the edited version, whereas others have the uncut version. My copy has the clean version.

On the back cover of the tracklist, if the artists names are written in bold, it has the explicit version of Blink-182 but if the artists names are not written in bold, it has the clean version of Blink-182

That was the official UK Radio Edit, something which appears to have disappeared these days

Not necessarily swearing but I found the radio edit of Dirty Talk by Wynter Gordon on Now 79 nowhere near as good as the original.

NOW 67: Amy Winehouse - "Back To Black", kept his dick wet

NOW 60: Scissor Sisters - "Filthy/Gorgeous", You gotta keep your shit together

 

I never owned Now 60 so I did wonder what version of this they had. The actual edit played on the radio cuts out 'acid' in the second verse and bridge too.
