This has probably already been mentioned, but Yoda makes an appearance on Radio Disney: Kid Jams CD. I don't imagine it would have to be censored, thoguh

Dave was just joking. He was referring to TSB, where the line "Do you see him hitting on the queen...." was replaced by "Do you see him talking to the queen....".twinkieweinersandwiches24_7 @ Aug 31 2005, 09:04 PM wrote: That's how the Disney version goes? Hm, I always thought it was the original one. But then again, I don't listen to Radio Disney anymore. Why? 'Cause they stopped playing Al...
The original line in Yoda is "But, remember if you kill him then you'll be unemployed." To my knowledge, it wasn't changed for Radio Disney.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

Does anyone know why Al waited so long before recording Yoda on an album? He wrote the song in '81, but didn't record it until '85 on DTBS. I always thought it was rather strange Al waited soooooooooo long to record Yoda; especially since by the time DTBS was released, the "Jedi" movie had already been released and we all knew that Luke had already killed Vader by this time. I wonder if the reason Al waited so long to record Yoda had anything to do with him wanting to have a bigger budget behind him so he could record the song with a better rock n' roll sound and bigger production quality? If that's the case, Al really took a huge risk. Just think ... if Scotti Brothers didn't want to keep Al on their label beyond 3D, we would never have gotten the chance to hear this treasure we all love so much. B) Hmmmmm.

The long wait between the demo version of "Yoda" recorded in 1981, and the album version recorded in 1985, can be blamed a little bit on Ray Davies' people, and a little bit on an inexperienced Al. Al didn't think he had the permission from Ray Davies. And Ray's people never even bothered checking with him. Al's learned over the years to go directly to the artist whenever possible and cut out the middle men.

J: With Yoda, you had to hold onto the song for five years, finally releasing it in 1985.
A: That wasn't a George Lucas thing, though.
J: Yeah, it was Ray Davies' people, wasn't it?
A: Yeah, it was more his people, actually. I've found that's happened a lot in the past. The artists' themselves does not have a problem with it, but their management, they're publisher whoever's protecting them just doesn't let it get through to them. Which is why, whenever I can, if I have any kind of direct conduit to an artist I try to talk to the artist personally because more often than not they're cool.
