According to Youtuber 12Medbe Network, during the "Ryan's Wife" Hoedown from the Sixteenth Episode of Season Five, a verse was edited out of the broadcast of the episode. Colin's aired verse is "Oh Ryan Stiles, I'd Love To Be His Wife, He's The Best Lover The I Ever Had In My Life, After We Made Love, Boy I'm High-Steppin', Mel Gibson Isn't The Only One With A Lethal Weapon". The verse Colin said that was cut was that how nothing on Ryan was wider than Wayne's G-String, a reference to the fact Wayne Brady was wearing a G-String in the episode.
