Actually, the FUNimation DVDs got rid of "I've Got A Feeling" as well, both language tracks. Foreign language or not, copyright is copyright - really, the original Japanese track totally wasn't allowed to do it, but they just didn't get caught on it until well after (or something like that).
Still, fun fact: a lot of the FUNimation English VAs were actually willing to forfeit the remainder of their pay on the project if it meant they could secure the rights to use "I've Got A Feeling". Didn't work, but that story played a big part in that episode's commentary.

Man, it's too bad. Their version of "I've got a feeling" is awesome.
It's great to hear some VA's are willing to go the extra mile for their audience, too.
