    So I was searching around for how to remove those pesky tags (not just hide them from the preferences option in iTunes) and found a pretty good script written by "ZL" on another board. This is more for the purists who don't want those tags in the songs they bought/obtained by other means etc. Thought this would be helpful to some who google'd a bit and found a ton of people saying it couldn't be done :\

    File: Script (from Megaupload.com)

    Instructions:
    1. Go to your iTunes window and select all songs you want to either add a tag ([explicit] or [clean]) to, or remove tags from.
    2. With all the files being selected, open up Windows Explorer window in front with the downloaded file, extract this archive.
    3. You will see 3 different javascripts, select the appropriate one and run it (with the iTunes bar being right behind this explorer window with the songs still selected).
    4. If you followed these 3 steps, it should've changed and now you just refresh the library for it to show the changes (just play a song and skip it).

    This has been paraphrased from a post found here
