Records
Due to the amount of air time that "Unbelievable" has received since its release, it may be responsible for the most profanity ever heard over radio. The constant background vocal during the chorus saying "What the fuck was that?," which even appears in the lyrics in the CD booklet, was never edited. This is possibly because the background vocal appears incoherently, and most people dismiss it as undecipherable lyrics. The song has also been used unedited in pre-watershed television adverts.
It was ranked #31 on VH1's 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders in 2002 and #98 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s in 2007.

And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
