Radio EditA radio edit is a remix of a musical performance, intended to be less potentially offensive than the original uncut version. In the United States, the term originates from the requirement for radio stations to conform to decency standards imposed by the Federal Communications Commission. As some popular songs would violate these standards in their original consumer form, music publishers often provide radio stations with censored versions intended for broadcast. Frequently, vulgar or very explicit lyrics are replaced with either silence or a constant "bleep" tone. Since the editing is often performed by studio mixing engineers, usually only the vocal track is affected. It is also used when the original version is deemed too long for Radio airplay.
