Florida's Got the Good Lyrics
I just got back from a weekend trip to Ft. Lauderdale and while I was jammin' to the radio in the rental - I realized that a lot of the songs that get airplay up here are radio edits with totally different lyrics. What gives? Why can they play the original version in Ft. Lauderdale, but they won't play it in DC? I'm guessing it has something to do with those two huge white buildings down the road...
Before I left to go to Florida, I heard this song on the radio with the lyrics "i'm in love with a dancer..." I don't know anymore lyrics to it, because that's about all they say in the song - yes, it's probably worse than the Black Eyed Peas "My Humps" song. So i'm in a little bodega by the beach and they're playing the same awful tune to "I'm in love with a stripper." Can we not say stripper on the radio here?
Same thing happened again when Sean Paul's "We Be Burnin" came on the radio. So the DC lyrics go "recognize it, we pimpin' as we ride it." And the Florida lyrics go "recognize it, they should legalize it." Ok, so a song about legalizing marijuana probably wouldn't go over so well in our nations capital i'm guessing.
Who knew?
Also, this strange phenomena has been happening lately where i'm scanning through the radio and hear an a song that I haven't heard in years...then later that day i'll hear it again, and again the following day - then it dissapears again into a musical abyss. Do all the DJ's get together and pick some one hit wonder from years ago and agree to play it for three days straight?
I think I listen to the radio too much.

Obviously, I am hugely busy today at work since I reading through your blog archives. So, I'm in March. To my knowledge, I believe before 8 or 9pm, they play the "cleaner" versions of songs. Before 9pm is family-riffic.
