A temporary error with the UK's iTunes Music Store has caused some inoffensive song titles to be censored.

Tracks affected include Hot by Avril Lavigne, which is displayed as H*t, while The Cheeky Girls' biggest hit has become Cheeky Song (Touch My B*m).

An Apple spokesman said a "database glitch" occurred when the service was checked for explicit references, and would be fixed as soon as possible.
Source: BBC News

Songs include:

Smells Like T**n Spirit - Nirvana
K****r Queen - Queen
H*t 'n' Cold - Katy Perry
I Though I Saw A P***y Cat - Danny Kaye
E*****a - Madonna

"D'OH" Springs to mind
