Quoting the complete lyrics of a copyrighted song (as opposed to a brief extract) is copyright infringement. Saving objection, I propose to remove the lyrics from this article. Dermot 17:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- go ahead. wikipedia's not a place for song lyrics, anyway... ka1iban 18:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Just a note, this song was also performed by Matt Damon in "The Talented Mr. Ripley."
Are the last four `covers of note' really `notable'? Or are they just mentioned because they are recent? At least I think so, someone singing the song in an Idols-contest doesn't seem very notable to me. I think the `covers of note' should be a list of songs which have proven to influential recordings, over time. Therefore making it hard for recent songs to appear in such a list. But I might be wrong of course, anyone who shares/disagrees upon this opinion? Jaapkroe 18:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] OR?
The third stanza seems quite odd at first. It begins with a series of accusatory and rude questions that one wouldn't necessarily expect in a romantic tune. However, on second glance, one might guess what Hart was trying to accomplish. His song resonates with all the normal folks - the unsmart, the weak, and those without the figures of gods/goddesses. It quickly apologizes for the odd posers with a couple of negations to settle the nerves and then ends with the romantic sentiments of the last two verses.
a lot of this paragraph seems the writer's own opinions. i fixed it up -- left in the "one wouldn't necessarily expect" part, which i suppose strictly is opinion but seems general enough -- and took out about half of it. they seem like fairly obvious and reasonable opinions, though, so i'm sure if anyone were so inclined they could find somewhere to cite from. also changed 'posers' and 'negations' which sounded odd to me. that might just be a dialect thing though. --dan 05:42, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sung vs instrumental
the list of sung versions is informative; are there any instrumental versions? 207.29.128.130 11:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
