Mostly because I'm always fascinated by the people who are listening to the clean version. And like do they just not know what's going on there? Like, so, like, are there some people at these events where like a rapper comes and performs? And like he's got lude lyrics. And then the rapper's up there and is like, I stick my in her, and she knows that it's like, and I know that, and then all there, some people in the audience are like, I wonder what he's sticking. I wonder, I wonder,

I wonder, like, what do you think is happening in the song? Like what? Clean versions of hip hop songs are such a strange concepts to me. Why would you want hip-up, just, just, just, just, the hip, the the the the the the to, the the the to to the to the the the to to thapp?, thapp, thuip, thu, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thus, tho, tho, tho, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I'm, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thoan, thoan, thoan, thoan, thoan, like, like, thin, like, like, thin, like,. I like hip-hop a lot. I just don't like some of the things they say. Which parts? You know the cussing, you know, yeah. Just like the lude sexual acts. Other than that, I love hip-hop.

You sure you don't like country? No, no, I don't like hip-hop. I like hip-h-hursing is not something. Lots. They should make clean versions of other songs for other people, like other styles of music. Because maybe like cursing is not something that affects you. Maybe you don't like country because you don't like heartbreak. So you can be like, can I get a clean version of the country song but without the heartbreak in the song? And then when they sing it, it just doesn't have the heart break.

So just be like, Mary Jane, she, my heart. It's like, yeah, I don't want to hear about heartbreak. It's the clean version. That's what this is. The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition.
