Here is a part of the lyrics from

In the BMW
How the hell they find you?
1 4 7'd you


Are you sure it's 147 and not 174?


It's currently being used on a Honda commercial here in the U.S., which I
find ironic given the BMW reference in the lyrics. Of course, that line is
not used in the commercial.


Can they do this kind of censorship?

Hey, you can play whatever music, using whatever part of the song you want. Radio shows use "bumper music" that's usually an instrumental passage of something that has words. (And if you listened to all the words, the song in its entirety turns out to be singularly inappropriate for some shows!) The appropriate parties receiving the appropriate royalties, that's all anyone cares about in terms of what's legal and what's not.
