[edit] Main song

What does "main song" mean? john k 04:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

How about some mention of the implicit sexual metaphors which pervade the entire song.

[edit] International translations removed

I don't know what the point of having a dozen international translations of the song title and respective non-notable performers were in the English Wikipedia; basicly it was trivia in this context and I have removed that section. If someone wants to justify why it should be added back and provide similar (song) articles here on Wikipedia to help support inclusion, please feel free make a case for it here on the talk page.

[edit] Mandarin translation

It sounds to me like "看这世界" rather than something about floating duckweed...but then, I am a 大鼻子 and am therefore likely mistaken. Can anyone else confirm or deny the translation offered in the article? Sophy's Duckling 21:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Luther Vandross and Vanessa Williams

Should the piece about Luther Vandross and Vanessa Williams performing a cover in the song be present? It is not mentioned in either of the Luther Vandross or Vanessa L. Williams articles or in any cited article on the internet that I could find. Is it possible that people confused Luther and Vanessa with Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle? All four are African American and sing similar styles of music so it is quite likely that may have happened. Can someone please confirm or disprove this? Alex 06:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Single version vs. characters' version?

Which of them is considered the more known version - the one people are more likely to recognize? For example, which singing couple (of the original two) is more often called to do a live version of the song? -79.178.89.10 (talk) 12:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
