So I was taking a stroll through memory lane today when I came to the modern classic "Let's Get it Started" by the Black Eyed Peas. I decided to do a little more research into the song and only now in 2017 did I realize that the real title of the song was "Let's Get Retarded". Like lol I can't even listen to it the same way anymore. It just sounds ridiculous. Besides Fuck You/Forget You by Cee Lo Green, are there any other popular songs with titles that I may never have realized were censored? |

I only knew those ones and Short Dick Man by Gillette getting renamed Short Short Man. A quick google search tells me they slightly changed Britney's If You Seek Amy to If You See Amy |

There were copies of Nirvana's In Utero at Walmart which listed "Rape Me" as "Waif Me." |

Back in the 70s, Elton John's song "Screw You" had to be renamed as "Young Man's Blues." Similarly, Nilsson's "Fuck You" was named "You're Breaking My Heart." The lyrics remained the same, just the name changed. In the 60s, Micky Dolenz of the Monkees named a song "Randy Scouse Git" after a phrase he heard on a British TV show. Their British label refused to put that on the album (because it translated as a rather vulgar "horny, Liverpudlian jerk") and that just wouldn't do for a teenybopper band like the Monkees. They demanded an alternate title. So Micky renamed it for the British release: "Alternate Title." It was released as a single there and hit #1 (although it wasn't a single here). |

Another notable and (relatively) recent example is "Sexy Bitch" by David Guetta and Akon becoming "Sexy Chick" for the radio. To appease Ahmet Ertegun, the Rolling Stones changed the name of their 1973 song "Starfucker" to "Star Star." |

When the Stones performed on Ed Sullivan back in the 60s, they had to change "Let's Spend the Night Together" to "Let's Spend Some Time Together." |
