Copyright issues I can understand, but changing a title to avoid
advertising cat food I find slightly more odd.

The BBC routinely does that sort of thing, apprantly - they required
Ray Davies to re-record one line in "Lola" to remove a reference to
Coca-Cola, and they got cranky over Paul Simon's "Kodachrome"...

On another fromt, the Pogues had to shorten their original name to get
airplay in the UK, and the Monkees were required to provide an
alternative title for "Randy Scouse Git" (which they did -
"Alternative Title").
