Where is track marked?

Explicit as a noun can be the closing words of chanted liturgical text.
As an adjective it means stated clearly and in detail.

Maybe someone thought the track was "stated clearly"

I am blinded by your coruscating exegesis. In iTunes "explicit" means
"contains obscene language." May I also note that cello music is not
chanted liturgical text?

I take it you are /not/ an iTunes user.

If you /are/ an iTunes user, please note the "All of a sudden" above.

I'm a very long time iTunes user v.1.0 on, almost daily I edit tracks,
ID3 Tags, and album art.

Have you checked iTune's preferences to see if you have Parental Control
options turned on.

uncheck "show content ratings in Library" in iTunes/Preferences/General

That's not explicit! It's lascivious!

I just noticed this in a friend's library. It shows a little red
"Explicit" tag at the end of the Title column in the music view. (In
this case, it was Ricky Gervais live, so the tag was probably correct.)

A little further digging reveals that there is a "parental advisory" or
rating attached to the file, which is visible in the Summary panel of
Get Info. It appears that it cannot be edited in iTunes, however.

It is presumably an ID3 tag type which iTunes 7 is paying attention to,
but which wasn't recognised by earlier versions. In principle it should
be possible to edit this tag with some third-party software.

There is a general preference "Show content ratings in library" which
you could turn off to hide the explicit tag.

In your case, the song was probably tagged as explicit by mistake when
the MP3/AAC file was created, and it is now visible in iTunes 7.

If it's not a tag within the file, it's would be in the
XML file that controls the library. Folks who are brave
enough can edit that (but don't do it while iTunes is running
and makes ure you have a backup copy).
