Does anyone know if The Way It Is was used during the late '90s during the National Nine News sports segment? I think it was, at least in Melbourne. Thanks.--Cyvros 03:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Should we add "Can't Say Goodbye" by Snoop Dogg and Charlie Wilson to the "Cover versions" section?72.94.167.192 (talk) 02:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since its a popular song, it might be a good idea James'ööders 14:05, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

lyrical piano solos?

"Musically, the song is characterized by two long lyrical piano solos." As nothing is sung, should it not simply be "piano solos"? MattSucci (talk) 14:10, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here, "lyrical" refers not to vocals, but is instead used to characterize the piano solo as being particularly melodic and catchy — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSukis (talk • contribs) 23:41, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tupac?

Why is there no mention of Tupac's cover/sample of this song? By far, most people have heard that version and not any other version (including the original) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSukis (talk • contribs) 23:44, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
