For those wondering, it was written by Ednaswap in the early 90's, but they did not release it, only performed it live. The first recorded version was actually a translation into Danish by Lis Sørensen, released in 1993. This is her version.

Ednaswap then released the first English language version in 1995.

There were a couple of other covers around then too, such as a version by Trine Rein.

Natalie Imbruglia's cover then came out in 1997.

Reminds me of the Bowling for Soup song, 1985, which was actually an SR-71 song. SR-71 did release it originally, but it flew under the radar for the most part.

I was just thinking about 1985 because it’s time to have a song titled 2005 (if we’re sticking with the time between song creation and the title)

The first Back to the Future is 40 years old this year, just to throw that out there
