Daft Punk's sample of this[edit]

I haven't seen this anywhere, but they sample this in their Alive 2007 Album. It's in the transition between Too Long/Steam Machine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.32.197.206 (talk) 17:54, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have been looking for this info long time. Thank you.
Btw, reconsider adding "Nightcall" by Kavinsky to list of covers.

Praijna[edit]

Why the reference to the PRAIJNA video? All they've done is take a very important song, with deep meaning, and covered it in an ambiguous and gratuitous fashion. The inclusion of the reference to PRAIJNA seems self-promoting and not appropriate for this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.100.14.250 (talk) 14:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COVERSONG[edit]

Yes, various covers of various songs exist. However, per WP:COVERSONG, most of them simply are not noteworthy. - SummerPhD^v2.0 00:42, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled comment[edit]

Billboard Hot 100 — The song did not hit the number one position on this chart. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1004:B207:16DC:913C:AE68:BA3:CA92 (talk) 22:33, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The section clearly states that it reached Number 48 in the Billboard Hot 100. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 09:19, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
