[edit] The Speech
The speech is copyrighted material so I am going to get rid of it. If anyone wants to see it, there's a link anyway. VarunRajendran
[edit] Voice Actor
I don't believe the Lee Perry linked is the same Lee Perry who did the reading of the "speech" Sorry, but I just don't think he could suppress a Jamaican accent that completely.
- I saw the Lee Perry who read it on TV, and he's a white Canadian/Australian. So it's not him. Sum0 17:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Release Date
The dates of release for this track need to be revised. In Australia it was getting widespread airplay from about October 1997, with the original line 'Ladies and Gentlemen of the Class of 97'.
[edit] Usage in Romeo + Juliet
How can the song based on the column appear in Romeo + Juliet (the Leonardo DiCaprio version) when the movie came out a year before the column was written?
- The melody, not the lyrics, appear in the film. Clearly Luhrman amalgamated the theme from R+J and the words form the article for the eventual single.Jayunderscorezero 22:56, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Contradiction or Coincidence in the source for the song's lyrics
The music single section indicates at one point that "The song lyrics ... were drawn word for word from the Schmich column" ... however, later on, in the same section, "portions of the lyrics of the Rozalla song can be found word by word in the Baz Luhrman song". Is it a coincidence that the Baz Luhrman song contains "word for word" two different sources (Schmich column and Rozalla song)? Perhaps it's all due to the common ancestor, the Desiderata poem.

Actually, I can't find any phrases from the Rozalla lyrics in the Luhrman song, aside from "everybody's free", which features only in the title of the Luhrman lyrics, so I've removed the sentence "What is more, portions of the lyrics of the Rozalla song can be found word by word in the Baz Luhrman song." Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.
