   EdTop40, thanks for the info from your singles.  I think I mentioned this in another thread, but the two CD singles issued for "Player's Ball" are actually two different songs (although they are almost identical).  I'm not sure about the catalog numbers for each, but the first single released was actually "Player's Ball (On Christmas Day)" and is from the LaFace Family Christmas release.  It has the lyrics "when the player's ball is happenin' on Christmas Day" instead of "when the player's ball is happenin' all day e'ry day."  As you point out, the official Billboard single version is NOT the Christmas version.

	Okay, I A/B'd the vinyl jukebox 45s with what's on the promo CD singles, and they are the versions they claim to be. Roses (actual 4:13) --The word "shit" is censored to an extended "shh" with no blank space --The word "bitch" on the line "she's the reason for the word bitch" is overdubbed as "WITCH," with the background vocal following suit --The word "bitch" is blanked out at 2:54 --The line "Pardon me, are you balling?" has been changed to "balding" --The line following it has been changed to, "Darling, you sound like-like-like palsey" --The word "bitch" is blanked out on the line, "Bitch, you ain't that fine, no way" Hey Ya (actual 3:55) - Don't have the LP version, so I can't compare... but no censored lyrics, according to lyric sites on Internet, and no notation that it was remixed on the artwork. The Way You Move (actual 3:54) --The word "nigga" at 00:22 is blanked out --The word "whore" at 1:25 on the term "man whore" is blanked out --The term "camel toe" is blanked out on the line "skinny slim women got the camel toe within them" --The word "hump" is blanked out on the next line Edited by Brian W.

	There is an edit on the clean cd version for "Hey Ya". At 2:00 the uncensored lyric goes "just want to just want to come" and the word "come" is edited out of the censored version. This song was available as a 12" single which I do not have so I cannot tell you which version is the "45 version". Brian you seem to have the vinyl jukebox 45 so which version is on your 45? And that is a good question that I have thought about for quite a while -- if a 45 is available as a jukebox only 45, does that qualify as being a "45 version"?

	Interesting... No, on the vinyl jukebox 45, the one backed with the instrumental, the word "come" is in there... "Don't want to meet your mama, just want to make you come-a." Yeah, I don't know about the jukebox 45s. They don't SAY they're "for jukeboxes only." And they do have bar codes on them, and are sold in some stores (like I said, I got mine at Virgin Megastore). But they're white-label 45s.
