Man, that shhhh (turntable slow down effect) is horrible! Of course, I personally don't care for the hit version either.

Wow, that original version is very different - even the lyrics, like the line ...

"You're so vain. You prob'ly think this song is about you. Don't you? Don't you?" (And even the "about you - don't you - don't you" has the Carly Simon melody!) For the sake of the would-be impending lawsuit, it's a good thing he took that part out!

As for the editing of the word "sh**", the swear word is not on the album version either, so I don't think any "clean" edits are different than any other version.

Paul Haney,

Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner in 2010 does not run 3:45. My guess is that Whitburn is referring to the 3:45 version which includes Big Sean (as mentioned in this post) that was not the one that shot up the charts in 2010, but the release in 2009.

The correct time is 3:32, which is the version which appears on Now 35 and is known as the "Single Mix". This is also the promo only edit. I recently realized there is a clean and unclean version of this song (I say unclean because it really isn't explicit but it implies it). I just fixed it in my collection because the edited takes out the sh and it goes to the it...while the album version leaves in the shhh...without the it.

Edisonlite was correct there is no curse word. As for Paul Haney, my hope is you will correct the time based on what I pointed out....
