“I Want You (Album Version)” by Savage Garden

"I Want You" was Savage Garden's opening move: the Australian pop duo's lead single, issued at home by Roadshow on 27 May 1996, ahead of their self-titled 1997 debut album, which is where this album version lives. It went to number one in Canada and number four on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Australian chart, an American run that owed a lot to Rosie O'Donnell spinning it on several episodes of her talk show.

Britain got it twice, and the first release there, in 1997, took it to 11. At the 1998 APRA Music Awards it won Most Performed Australian Work Overseas, and when Triple M counted down its "Ozzest 100", the most Australian songs of all time, in January 2018, it was this album version that made the list.
