External links

• Are you sure the acoustic music video shouldn't be in the infobox; you could do this by extending the misc template?

• From what I've been told, only the information of the original or official singles (if more than one official single version of a song was released) should be included in the infobox. This can be seen for GA "Don't Start Now" where the Live in LA remix music video in not included in the infobox. Personally, I do not think it should be included but I guess it could be discussed.
