message: Am I the only one who remembers a mid 90's video of a cover of this? It played on MTV at least in Europe and it was pop.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.231.130.23 (talk) 12:46, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Gotta disagree with Sullivan - it does not sound like she sings 'crow', definitely sounds like she sings 'pro', and 'crow' makes no sense.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brett Alexander Hunter (talk • contribs) 21:50, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Crow or Pro?

message: After perusing the Wikipedia guidelines on notability I feel I can in good conscience restore mention of the Czech version by Marie Rottrová: if any editor supports the deletion as non-notable I would ask for a corroborating citation from the Wikipedia guidelines. I am puzzled by an editor's being moved to delete mention of a version of Bette Davis Eyes by a longstanding high-profile recording artist - albeit not in the English speaking world - while having no apparent issue with the song's being mentioned as being the audition piece of a current Oz XFactor contestant. I'm not saying mention of Dean Ray's version should be deleted - just making the point that individual Wikipedia users will have individual responses as to whether a version of a song is notable: if an individual doesn't deem a version notable he or she does not have to note it but to take the step of editing it out there should be a definite breach of Wikipedia guidelines. As I've said I would ask any editor who wishes for the Marie Rottrová mention to remain deleted to cite the Wikipedia guidelines which would support that position. I do admit to having included no source info in my original edit - an omission which I have rectified.--Cherrylimerickey (talk) 01:50, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I added this mention but it was reverted as user generated source.  Not sure why a fact has to be reverted simply because it is not immediately easily referenced but can be checked by perusing the film in question.
  It also features briefly in the romantic comedy film Austenland (film).
Here is another link that may be less user generated, not sure, someone else can add it in this time.
https://www.soundtrack.net/movie/austenland/
I think it fitted the movie ok and deserves a mention.

replies: text: According to WP:SONGTRIVIA, it isn't necessary to list every appearance in movies, TV shows, commercials etc. The other problem is the sourcing which is not top class, and IMDb generally isn't suitable as a source.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 06:37, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Balance 

message: Its questionable, this song belongs to the new wave genre. There might have been people to see it that way, but to have it the wp article, there should be sth. more of an explanation. This song is obviously a pop rock ballad. KhlavKhalash (talk) 07:18, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Genre is always subjective and requires a source. New wave and soft rock are both sourced in the infobox. As the article New wave music says, it is something of a catch-all term for early 1980s pop music. The extensive use of synths and the style of the accompanying video are in my view clear signs of the song being new wave.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 08:03, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

message: I think that if Gwyneth Paltrow warrants mention in this article, then Taylor Swift should definitely be included as well. 77.170.172.143 (talk) 12:09, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems that Swift's version doesn't meet the WP:COVERSONG criteria. I can't find any substantial media coverage about it, and I don't believe it charted anywhere. Skyrack95 (talk) 15:58, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
