The poppy reggae version, first released in 1990, was recorded in 1989. The acoustic version, on the other hand, which later became known worldwide, was recorded as early as 1988 but was not released until 1993 on the album "Facing Future". The medley was also used in the film "Meet Joe Black" (1998) and the song "What A Wonderful World" in the film "Fred Claus" (2007).
