Subject: Which version of Stagger Lee?

The biggest controversy over Lloyd Price's original version of "Stagger Lee" is
that Billy gets shot. In the remake, he doesn't.

The remake is often referred to as "the 'American Bandstand' version," which
partly answers your other question. Can't tell you about which version KFWB
played.
