User blog comment:Mighty Durpyena/I Burn censorship./@comment-24038343-20140109022818

I dunno, I was quite put off by the lyrics myself, but censoring after the fact bothers e for some reason.

Its very likely that they just looked at it in hindsight and thought "Well..thsat's a little much..."

I know a couple of commentors on my blog who nwatch the show with their kids because it's in that rare sweet spot where it's got a sense of adventure and heroism but doesn't stray into the vulgar...I'm guessing that they had second thoughts about the song damaging thre brand before putting it on the actual CD and then wanted to harmonize the CD and the MP3. In my personal opinion it was not appropriate to the series...OTOH lets maintain perspective here: This was not The Star Wars Holiday Special.

Since it's BEEN released I think they could have just flagged the song as explicit and had it as an MP3 single.

There had been a minor stink about the lyrics, In fact I was one of the people who griped.

Thus, in a sense this is Mr. Oum and company being responsive. However, the bullies veto, is, in the long run,  not a good thing for freedom or artistic expression.

As someone who disliked the song I actually hope that they would re-release it but with an explicit advisory...though I 'm not going to get terribly upset on this one way or another.
