Waking Ear

Petey Pablo/"Freek-a-Leek" -- I hadn't really noticed the post-Janet-tit FCC crackdown -- I don't listen to shock DJs and don't have cable, so Howard Stern and MTV's changes have been lost on me. But today I noticed something strange and none too subtle.

The radio edit of "Freek-a-leek," which hip-hop stations are required to play every 10 minutes right now, used to include the following verse:
"Do want it missionary with your feet crammed to the head board
Do want it from the back with your face in
the pillow so you could yell as loud as you want girl
Do you want it on the floor,do want it in the chair do you want it over here do want it over there
Do you want it in your [pause] do u want it in your [pause]
I could give you anything you can handle."

The pauses were for the words "pussy" and "ass," proving Petey's accommodating flexibility, and it's not shocking that those words were deleted. But today I heard this in the same section of the song:

"[Pause]
... with your face in the pillow so you could yell as loud as you want girl
[Pause]
I could give you anything you can handle."

I would think the floor/chair line would more OK than the pillow-screaming line, but what do I know about decency?
