Which is the hit the 3:10 radio version or the 3:53 on the promo CD single? Anyone remember?

I remember the 3:53 version as the one most
played on radio. I recall it got more airplay on
alternative and Urban stations than it did on CHR stations
though.

Rich, it was neither of those versions, at least in Providence during the original chart run. The version I remember is the 3:04 version which was serviced from TM Century and
Hitmakers. This may be the Sliver soundtrack version, but I cannot verify. Also where this version was serviced promotionally, I also cannot verify. Perhaps someone can come
forward with the promo CD single details. In the meantime, sorry I couldn't be more help, and probably added to the confusion of what the 'hit' version should be.

It is interesting that this song has a lot of different versions that were heard across the country. I had to choose the 3:53 but that doesn't mean it was limited to just that. Thanks.
