The Sweetest Song

[sparky]

Just bought it from itunes, it's a rockin' song, but not what
I was hoping for. But what really annoyed me are the Phuqing censorship bleeps through out the song !! What the hell is that all about ?? What kind of crap are they trying to pull ?? Is this what Ginger ment when he said "the version that will appear on this exclusive download will not appear on the album". Exclusive download ??? have they run out of ideas ? I was hoping for something special but censorship bleeps is just fukking sad....I've had enough

Calm down Sparky. it's only 79p

[Silkenone]

As it says on the tin, It's a RADIO edit.

Actually, I'm with Sparky here. I was gonna buy it, expecting it to be al alternate mix or a shorter version or something... but censorship bleeps? Fuck that, I'll get a listee to send it to me, I'll decide if the bleeps are the only different thing about the song and if it is, forget it.

It might well be that the radio edit is the version on the album. I haven't heard the album as it's not released yet Give them a break though.... they are trying to make a living out of their music.

Let's face it the download is supposed to be a taster of the album and it's how every other band works these days. and 79p it's hardly expensive - just wait for the album if you need to save up for it.

it's a good song but the bleeps are a bleeping joke. It ruins the whole song, radio edits normally mask the swear words, not add in a comedy bleep.

If this really is waht makes it exclusive they can shove it up their sweetest arse. yeah it was 79p but its a fucing insult.

Right click on the track then "convert to MP3". At least you could if it wasn't bloody copy protected.

If I remember correctly, someone who had a promo copy wrote somewhere in this forum that The Sweetest Song clocks in at around 7 minutes, so at 4:10 this is a shorter version.

Oh, and please stop whining, will you? No need for gratuitous negativity with such tasty fresh music to feast our ears on.

Thanks.

Sorry - I think they may have been mistaken - the promo copy I have it is 4:10 long on too

bloomin eck, the bleeping is fucking excessive =/ I want uncensored mix!

[mikeygc]

For f**k sake!!! This is the first new stuff from the Wildhearts in ages and people are slating it because it has been censored. I'm no expert on the rules of getting a song in the charts but, if this is eligible(for length and download rules etc) then it certainly needs to be censored, (having heard the uncensored version, this ain't getting played on any major radio show!!)
Talking about getting other people to send it to you is a f**king joke. How is that helping the band???

I agree the bleeps are far from ideal, but the song is still immense and in two weeks we will all have the full proper uncensored album. Hopefully if enough people download it, the band will get the attention they deserve this time around!!

there seem to be some angry people here... i'd say "not bitter just a little disappointed"... its almost even funny to a point! anyway... can't imagine many repeat requests for this radioedit unless you like a bit of morse code in your songs.... bit of a waste

That's the worst thing about it, I think. Yes, it's annoying that there are so many beeps and, regardless of the fact that it's the first new song for ages, the constant beeping spoils it. I can't imagine it getting any radio play at all - what radio station that actually wants to keep it's listeners is going to play a song that sounds a car alarm going off? - so it all seems a bit pointless, because other than the people who already know about it (us), I'm not sure who's going to hear it.

Couldn't agree more.

Why not do something along the lines of the Fall Out Boy track, add guitar chug rather than a beep.
