Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Eligible (expanded redirect), article is well cited, well-written, formatting correct, Earwig says no copyvio and qpq done. The hook is interesting. Unfortunately I will have to AGF on the DYK citation, but this user appears to have a very good track record.

"cut of the film but was" → "cut of the film, but was"
"a more
folk-inspired version of the track with" → "a more
folk-inspired number with" to be less wordy
"called it superior to Bowie's entire debut album and acknowledged its sound" → "called the song superior to Bowie's entire debut album and acknowledged the sound"
MOS:CAPS issues with ref 29, unless that is how Toy can be stylized
I find that's how the website sometimes stylizes it even though I've never seen anyone else do it like that – zmbro(
