It's like a No. No. It's the it's the same exact song. There there's no difference. It's the exact same song. However, now, 2009 remastered. Worse, so it's the same song, just better sound quality. Tier, like, make a sound You literally can't tell the difference. It's just the original. In fact, the original doesn't even exist anymore.
