The title is sometimes displayed as "H*** Pipe" on some television channels, notably MTV; however, there has been inconsistency of the censored song title. [[Geffen Records]] anticipated these censors, and originally didn't want "Hash Pipe" to be a single, citing the song's title and lurid content as inappropriate. And the aforementioned "Half Pipe" version was occasional broadcast by radio stations that felt more comfortable with a skateboarding reference as opposed to drugs. | ||
