When it was announced that the group intended to release the track as a single, due to the drug and sex references, it was deemed inappropriate for play on many radio stations, and as such, a censored version of the song, "Purple Hills", was made.

"Purple Hills" removes most of the drug and sex references and replaces them with comical lyrics.

Most of Bizarre's verse is entirely changed, due to the strong amount of sexual and drug content in it.

However, a number of underground radio stations in the United States played "Purple Pills".

In America, one version of the single was available — this contained "Purple Hills" as an audio track with no enhanced section.
