@Jonathan Deamer: Thank you for the quick review! I know that it's a bit unorthodox to have an unsourced paragraph, but I see it as being a "mini-lead" for the cover version of the song, and there is a little bit of established precedent for it in other GAs (e.g. "Love's Train"), so I figured that it would be alright.
