Any help?
Thanks.

Can't find a clean version

If the lyrics are an issue, just don't play the song.
I have no obligation as a DJ to any artist whose work, or a client who's requests, are indignant with respect to their audience.

I totally agree. I know a few here who will disagree with me, but MY morals do not allow it.
And for my clients, it was never a problem. Rather it was much appreciated.
Sorry, can’t find one either.
I have no problem with someone who doesn’t want to play a song. Personally, I think the swear word is pretty subtle In that song. I’d have no problem playing it. Every situation is not black and white to me. There’s some songs I won’t play, some I’d prefer to play edited versions.
However, So Cal was looking for help, so I tried. It doesn’t matter to me if he wanted to find it or his client wanted it

It should matter: knowing toward what you are contributing before taking action.
@So Cal Hugh I'm not familiar with the song and it's not on my service but if you send me a copy I will edit it so it can't be heard for you
Reading comprehension matters.
You are suggesting it matters if he wants the the song or his client does
How foolish of me for not seeking such valuable information beforehand
I'm pretty sure that song was in the record pools, and it was a clean version.
BTW: When did Copyrights no longer matter?

You are making an assumption, but if you are correct, ,I'd say in this situation it stopped mattering about the same time the police stopped ticketing for going 26 in a 25
I purchased the song from amazon.com, and break no rules by having it modified.
Your are wrong, and clearly have no education in U.S. Copyright Law.
If you have the DJ skills to perform the edits live - then do that. That's why they call us Disc-Jockeys, BTW.
Recording a new version of an existing product requires express permission of the copyright holder, and that is why we have record pools to negotiate and manage that process legally on our behalf.
The fact that you're more than likely get away with something does not make it okay.
Contact the artist directly and inquire about the availability of a cleaner version. They or their label will get back to you with where you can obtain a radio version if one exists. (They may even just send it to you.) If one does not exist, then respect the artist's creative and expressive rights and reserve your edits only to your own live performance of the released work.
This thread is not about you discreetly creating some one-time edit to satisfy a private wedding client. The legal reality is that you are on an internet forum soliciting unauthorized recordings made by other DJs. It's really, really BAD FORM.

Pro, We all need a little help a few times over the years! Are you now the copyright Police?? Yes you have a lot of knowledge & I respect the fact.
Get of your soapbox
That's a lame excuse for infringement. This just a "little bit" argument is no more appealing with Copyright than it is with shoplifting.
I'll keep my soap box, thank you.
I somehow know this & respect your self acclaimed platform.
Yes, You are correct! Don't you dare to not come to a full stop at a stop sign even when nobody's watching.
You are allowed to edit music as long as you keep a copy of the original. If it was being re-sold it becomes a different thing
Pro will set you straight.
Not in the U.S. - you're Canadian (in case you forgot there's still a border.)
You're doin' a fine job of reporting yourself.
If you're gonna call yourself a "DJ" then have at least the common sense not to solicit unauthorized copies on an internet bulletin board. (Doah!)
...'cause file sharing would never cause a stir in the music biz.
