why did it only barely make the pops in the US?

errata! the song was not officially released in the US... (from one of Dan's interviews) sorry, sorry...

I think the English version was just not very good...(and you just don't change the version so many people fell in love with on the internet... -- that's always a bad idea but it may have been the price Dan had to pay for getting the song on the US charts and it was there... briefly...) D.
