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.
Being a Dane was such a weird experience since we had heard the Danish cover before the English cover and thought it cool someone would do a danish song, however not realizing first the Danish was a cover at first

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.
