Although it's covered in the article, I wanted to add a little more context for folks who aren't familiar with the song:
* The song Tom's Diner was a notorious earworm that seemed to get stuck in the head of society at large for a few months in the early 90's. For a short while it felt like some version of it was playing on every radio everywhere
* The original track was minimal – just her voice – so lent itself to a wide variety of covers and remixes that crossed a lot of genres
* Suzanne Vega was an advocate for those covers and remixes at a time when the record industry was not, and eventually put together a full album of remixes called Tom's Album
