Wow, I guess no one read my first message before submitting WOJB covers.

So did anyone notify admin?

Buzz-Duh said on Friday, 15 April 2011:
I would put the Freddie Allen version as a cover of the bank commercial.

So should I put the Freddie version as a cover of the bank commerical, or the other way round?

Buzz-Duh said on Monday, 08 March 2010:
Just to make note, the added bridge and portions to the Carpenters version were already written by Williams and Nichols in case artists wanted to pick it up. Freddie Allen technically covered this before the Carpenters with the added bridge. Since the added parts were already written before that version, the Carpenters version shouldn't be considered a cover of that version. Also, Paul Williams later re-recorded the song with the added bridge but that version shouldn't be accidentally placed here since that was made after the Carpenters version.
