Up-and-coming New York-based band the Strokes have halted distribution of their
debut album for RCA in order to remove a song called "New York City Cops." The
tune, a third-person tale about a couple on the run, featured the refrain, "New
York City Cops/They ain't too smart." The band decided to remove the track and
record a new one over the weekend--a far less offensive song called "When It
Started." The album's release has now been pushed back from next Tuesday to
October 9. 

"It's not a 'Cop Killer' song in any sense," says band spokesman Jim Merlis.
"But they know, having been in New York City, that it's just inappropriate
right now."
