"All About the Sex" - Donnell Jones
Another example in overzealous editing. When you hear this on the radio the word "sex" (which appears quite frequently in these lyrics), is edited out.

I can't even imagine what a mess this must be in the edited version. Meanwhile, Beyonce is on American Idol last night and the chorus is "make love to me" a whole mess of times, which is in a way, more direct than the usage in this song.
Because the censors/society decided it wasn't the meaning that was so bad, it is the word itself.
What's the difference between Chase saying "I have to go poopies" and "I have to go shit?"
The meaning is the same, the word sounds nicer.
