Bacharach releases 'X-rated' protest song LOS ANGELES, March 30 (UPI) -- Legendary songwriter Burt Bacharach's "X-rated" version of his political protest song "Who Are These People?" includes an expletive not heard on the album. Singer Elvis Costello was very upset when the expletive at the end of the song was edited out of the version on the Grammy-winning album, "At This Time," at the behest of Columbia executives, Bacharach told the Los Angeles Daily News. "There were mixed feelings in the record company about me, of all people, having something X-rated," Bacharach said. "And the feeling was, 'You're already saying so much about your feelings, why keep the record out of Wal-Mart because of that line?' Not that it's in Wal-Mart." Bacharach said he decided to send the original "X-rated" version to Apple's iTunes Music Store for download because he "had to say something." "Things have gotten worse, with more lies, even in the last few weeks," he said. "I don't like to offend. My nature is to try to please everybody. "What's going on now caught me. I felt I had to say something."
