Here's Charlene. You can hear audio altering at :26, :37, :41, 1:31, 1:54, 2:07, 2:10,
I call it audio altering because it's barely changing it. In most parts, they just added echo to distort the noise a bit.

I heard that Roxor did the editing, at the request of the publisher, who were given the list of objective content from the ESRB. I heard this from Ryan McKanna, although it was obviously a couple of years ago.

There's no distortion used. They replaced the bar of music containing the offending words with another similar bar of music used later in the song. That's why the lyrics come out as gibberish, and the audio seems to jump.

Charlene's a bad example, because they replaced syllables with other syllables. Land Of The Rising Sun is a better demonstration of how they did it.

I'm very aware. If Roxor did the editing, Kyle, the audio engineer at the time, would have done a better job. Red Octane was to blame on the ordeal. Ryan does art and not much else aside from a few charts last time I heard.

For Land of the Rising Sun, try "Bikini lines and bedroom toys. Some for the girls and some for the boys."

Anyone know why DDR Ultramix 2 was changed from E to T? (This was before E10+ was made)

I still haven't figured it out, and I have an original copy rated E (and also explains why UM2 isn't advertised on the back of the UM3 and 4 instruction manuals.)
First time I heard of this change. Most of the changes were from T or M to one higher, like GTA San Andreas or Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.
EDIT: I see no proof that Ultramix 2 was rated T, not even on the ESRB site. And, no, Wikipedia is not reliable as there're no references.

"DINGDONG♥HEARTS"
I believe it was rated T on the ultramix2 website at one point

Personally I hate the ERSB rating system. They take things WAY to seriously. They think every kid will understand every reference in every song and will be stupid enough to be influenced by it. I look at the ERSB team as a bunch of extremely paranoid parents

Maybe they should reform it. But don't forget one thing. Before that, you've had the Nintendo policy who was much more strict than the actual ERSB rating, which consisted for example to ban religious references or alcohol in their videogames.

If that's X2, no. Dynamite Rave wasn't the same version in that game, and I don't think the lyrics include the d-word. I think they're referring to the beginning of Crazy Control, but I'm not sure...
