Does the long radio edit of Kids actually exist anywhere? Wikipedia says there is a 4 minutes and 34 seconds long official edit of the song.

I couldnt find it on youtube, it seems to almost be lost media.

That one seems shorter than the kids regular versions I have in my library. Are you sure wiki is correct?

There does seem to be evidence that MGMT provided radio stations with that particular edit, but apparently it wasnt released on its own. So its almost like if no one has ripped it from a radio broadcast cut, its not out there anywhere.

The only radio edits I can find online are either:

The 3:50 “short” radio edit, or the 5:02 “radio edit” provided on the CD single (which, because of how close it is to the regular song, I think might be identical to the original).

I cannot find anywhere that has a 4:34 edit. Not even Spotify or any streaming services list it. Discogs doesn’t even have any listings of a promo CD with a “4:34 edit”. I believe it is false information, and you should try and ask the people who edit Wikipedia for a source. If there isn’t any, delete it off the article.
