message: I tagged the article with "inappropriate tone" because several sections need a bit of rewriting; eg. Although only its apocalyptic tone would remind anybody of the terrorist attacks. The subject matter is completely different, although I suppose one could say that the unecessarily widespread dissemination of a dangerous technology, jet aircraft flight knowledge, led to the attacks, and the song's lyrics warn of overusage and overdependence on technology.  ← amiИa (talk) 20:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed this line from the trivia section.  I'm guessing it was supposed to say "This song was written in 30 minutes" or perhaps "recorded in 30 minutes."  Or possibly that the song was featured in the 1978-1982 documentary magazine series "30 minutes". Trolleytimes 05:25, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: "It is unusual for a recording artist to have a number one hit and then never have another chart single for the rest of their career."  Um, no, that is NOT unusual... that is called a One-Hit-Wonder, and it is so common that VH1 dedicates entire programs to them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.54.250.11 (talk) 23:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi. First of all, I do not generally edit there, I usually translate from English to Czech, but I found number of covers of this song. Most of them are only sensation of YouTube, but few of them are actually pretty well known, I guess. Namely one by Jane Rossi (1983, Germany). I failed to find ANY informations about her, only one single release in two versions, both vynil, both 1983, one 7" and the other 12" version: Jane Rossi on Discogs.com
By well known I mean that whenever I encounter this cover, literally every clone on YouTube contains at least one comment from various people that state they have this record home, bought it in Germany in 1983 or later in 80s, or simply heard it long ago in radio. But yet no informations anywhere. Kind of suspicious, I guess. I can't find anything else than these records. Like it was her only single (alongside with "Yesterday Is Gone" on B side) and the only release.
Does anybody know anything more? Because it really feels awkward if you find a record and know nothing about it, about the interpret, yet many people know this particular release. I simply can't believe there's nothing else she recorded, and no additonal info.
Would it be worth of addition into the article, if someone dug up some old reviews, some old newspapers, etc.? Just askin' — Polda18 (talk) 23:18, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

message: I have tweaked the description of why this is such an unusual one-hit wonder - saying they're the only artist to get No. 1 and never have another chart listing for their entire career. Without that distinction, every time a newbie artist gets a No. 1 hit (which seems to happen more often in the streaming era) they will be one-hit wonders until their next song. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 15:34, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
