Line 110:
* [[Britney Spears]]' "Oops I Did it Again" was played on Radio Disney with the word "innocent" obviously silenced:
{{quote|"[[This Is Sparta|I'm not... that...]] ''[three note piano sound]''"}}
* A certain game on ''[[I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again|I'm Sorry Ill Read That Again]]'' and ''[[I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue]]'' does this to songs. In addition to the example above, there was a version of "My Favourite Things" from ''[[The Sound of Music]]'' in which ''everything'' except the "and"s and "...all tied up with string; these are a few of my favourite things" was bleeped.
** One ISIHAC Christmas special played the Censorship Game with "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". It worked very well indeed. So did one with "Underneath The Arches" ("...I [buzz]<ref>dream</ref> my [buzz]<ref>dreams</ref> away.")
* The day after the first McCain-Obama Presidential debate in 2008, an Atlanta radio station aired the audio of the event...with random bleeps inserted, while the DJs tried to determine whose fake profanity-laden tirade was funnier. {{spoiler|1=Obama, apparently. McCain just sounded like a generic [[Grumpy Old Man]].}}
* British radio presented Danny Baker inserted random bleeps into John Denver's ''Annie's Song'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soJejdVGT2Q and the results sounded like this].
{{quote|"You f*** up my senses; come f*** me again!"}}
* One of the stock games on the [[CBC]] Radio show ''Because News'' is to bleep out words from a politician's sound bite and have the panelists guess what the quote was originally about.
