Portion used

A 30-second sample of the song's second chorus, in keeping with the length and audio quality guidelines detailed at Wikipedia:SAMPLE, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording. It is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
