I can only think of one example of this occurring...
At the Much Music Snowjob 98 concert, everyone's favourite anarcho-Trotskyist pop-punk sellouts (Chumbawamba) performed the song "Big Mouth Strikes Again", a song about Lenny Bruce and censorship.
Obviously, being that it's Much Music and that everyone Chumbawamba album other than Tubthumpers has been loaded with "offensive" content, they couldn't do the part of the song where they softly say "bullshit, motherfucker, bullshit". Instead, they replaced the "offending" lyrics by screaming "Change must come through the barrel of a gun!" It sounded much cooler and much more powerful, even if it makes far less sense than the original version in the context of anarchists (They're certainly not Maoists. :lol: ) singing about censorship.
