Fair use rationale for Image:Wakefield american made.jpg

Image:Wakefield american made.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Cover... Iggy Pop vs Johnny O'Keefe

The song "Wild One" from Eurotrip was first recorded by Johnny O'Keefe. Iggy Pop's version is a cover of that song. So is it really accurate to call the Wakefield version a cover of Iggy Pop? I realize the style with which it is sung emulates Iggy Pop, but isn't a cover of a cover really a cover of the original? I haven't seen a wiki policy about such, but there might be one I'm unaware of. Anyway, I was wondering if it would be best for accuracy to call it a Johnny O'Keefe cover, and maybe say "reminiscent of Iggy Pop's 1986 version." Thoughts?
