I saw a Tom Shapiro NSAI guest speaker workshop tonight and he said Keith Urban's "You Look In My Shirt" was recorded by Keith years before it became a single. Evidently, Keith would do it in the live shows and it was real popular and he finally decided to record it a second time.

Travis had to release "On The Other Hand" twice before it became a smash.

Even the Beatles had to be unleashed upon American radio a second time because the first time didn't take. You can look it up.

I thought those kind of went along with what Marc said.
