The band liked this mix so much that they asked for it to replace the version on the album, after the album had sold about a million copies. The single version is now the version on the album. As the album has sold over two million copies since the switch, the ratio of remixed versions to original mixes is about 2:1. The original mix is featured as a bonus track on disc two of the deluxe edition of ''The Blue album''. | The band liked this mix so much that they asked for it to replace the version on the album, after the album had sold about a million copies.
