The song is "How soon is now" originally sung by Love Split Love, then by The Smiths, and there is also a recent version sung by TATU, though it hasn't appeared in the show as yet...

People.. get your facts straight.. here's enough proof.

http://wb39.trb.com/entertainment/wbnetwork/stv-charmed-pkgthemesong.special

The song was originally done by the Smiths, then Love Spit Love performed it for Charmed. I haven't watched Charmed in a while, so I don't know if T.A.T.U.'s version is being used.

It was originally sang by the Smiths, but they both sang it. The Tatu version is okay, its like an up to date version, but not as good as the Smiths version

The song "How Soon Is Now?" was released in 1984 by The Smiths on their album Hatful  Hollow (yes, that is the correct spelling in this case). The Love Split Love version was released in 1996 on the sound track for the movie "The Craft". Regardless of which appeared on the show first, the rights to the song are owned by Morrissey & Johnny Marr of The Smiths  fame.

Mari is correct, Talina is incorrect.

"How Soon Is Now" was originally a song written and performed by The Smiths, the former band of solo artist Morrissey. The haunting lyrics were written by Stephen Morrissey and Johnny Marr of the Smiths. The original version of the song "How Soon Is Now" can be found on several of The Smiths CDs including "Singles," "Meat is Murder" and "The Best of the Smiths, Volume One."

This song was actually originally done by The Smiths....Morrissey wrote it when he was the lead singer....I think in 1984.  Love Spit Love and t.A.T.u's version are both remakes.  Love Spit Love is the version on the show and it hasn't changed.

You're all wrong. the Smiths put the song "How soon is now" out in 1985. Love Spit Love didn't come out on the scene until 1992 and they don't take the credit for writing the song. You can read their Bio at http://www.maverick.com/lovespitlove/trysome/cmp/bio.html

You pubescent dorks who think that Love Split Love did 'How Soon is Now'--are you even old enough to see PG movies? The original version was done by the Smiths, and is still performed by Morrissey, formerly of the Smiths and now performing solo.  The other versions are covers.  Inner Sanctum did a dance version of 'How Soon is Now'.
