Editing Seven dirty words (section)

==Availability==
Carlin performed the routine many times and included it, in whole or in part, on several of his records and HBO specials. Parts or all of the performance appear on the following releases:
* 1972 – ''[[Class Clown]]'' – Audio recording – "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television"
* 1973 – ''[[Occupation: Foole]]'' – Audio recording – "Filthy Words"
* 1977 – ''[[George Carlin at USC]]'' – HBO special – "Forbidden Words"
* 1978 – ''[[George Carlin: Again!]]'' – HBO special – "Dirty Words"
* 1983 – ''[[Carlin at Carnegie]]'' – HBO special – "Filthy Words"

The ''Carlin at Carnegie'' version can be heard as "An Incomplete List of Impolite Words" on the 1984 album ''[[Carlin on Campus]]'' (but not in the HBO special, ''Carlin on Campus''). That version of the list features over 300 dirty words and phrases in an effort to stop people telling him that he left something off the list. Four days after Carlin's original ''Class Clown'' recording, the routine was performed again for students at the [[University of California, Los Angeles]]. This would be months before its first official release. The recording was restored in December 2013 and uploaded to YouTube by archivists at UCLA and could be accessed free of charge, but is no longer available due to a claim of copyright infringement.<ref>{{YouTube | hcjJToF6U3o | George Carlin at UCLA May 31, 1972}}</ref>
The FCC ruling is referenced in "Offensive Language" from the album ''[[Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics (album)|Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics]]'' and HBO special ''Doin' It Again'', both 1990 recordings of the same performance; however, the routine that follows is entirely different.

The ''Class Clown'' version can also be heard on the vinyl/cassette only release ''[[Indecent Exposure (album)|Indecent Exposure]]'' (1978). The ''Occupation: Foole'' version can also be heard on ''[[Classic Gold (George Carlin album)|Classic Gold]]'' (1992). Both versions were re-released again as part of ''[[The Little David Years (1971–1977)]]''.
