[edit] Official versions

[edit] Sources

The problem is that I can't find any other mention of this as a single, only as an album track. The cover image that was in the infobox was in fact learly an advert for a scent. The All Music Guide has no mention of this as anything but an album track. The only source seems to be the one given, which is to a somewhat obscure commerical site — which uses the scent advertisement as the cover image... --Mel Etitis (Talk) 17:13, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop simply reverting to your version (complete with errors in the rest of the article) without discussion here. That there's a vido of the song doesn't mean that it was released as a single. Please provide a genuine source for the claim.
If it was released as a promotional single by the scent company, that may or may not count; I'll check at the WikiProject. In any case, though, given the lack of information on the Web, it's pretty obviously not a notable recording, and deserves a single line along with all the other cover versions. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 09:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
