There's an animation that's been circulating around the internet which includes this song, and the style suggests that it was made by Disney (or Pixar), but I'm not sure. Does anybody have any idea who could've made this animation? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3hJhyOQ_eA Sanbuster 14:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jimmy Cliff discussion makes no sense
I'm going to remove it. Add it back if you can make it mean something. Uucp 16:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deleted external link
Duplicity has removed an external link I added to a blog post [1] I wrote about the song. Contrary to his/her claim, there is no conflict of interest in linking to a blog post I myself have written. Besides, I derive absolutely no benefit fr. such a link. On the contrary, the link points to an article that provides more depth & references to enrich the experience for the Wikipedia reader. My post is full of wide & varied research and features several fine mp3 cover versions of the song which readers can hear.
Before reverting this link pls. contact me to discuss.Richard (talk) 08:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright law
Interesting fact that under South African Copyright law the copyright on this song would have expired just before the turn of the millenium. (The law states that copyright subsists for 50 years after publication or in the event that the work was not published 50 years after the death of the author) --Renier Maritz (talk) 22:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
