4. Just like version 2, but gives up a different story about how Seress' came up with the song - claiming, that he was at some magician's or something, house, and heard some devilish sounds there, which inspired him to write the song. This is a clear Urban Legend, with no proof, or anything, and just

3. Jávor's own romance, as per version 2, but putting Jávor's lyrics originally first written as a poem, to which Séress then set the music, and at a later date, also wrote his own lyrics to said music. This is the version, preferred by
Knowledge (XXG) apparently (without any sources, of course), and

As for the suicides, are there clear news reports about them? Because the only places I seem to find them mentoned, are sites about Gloomy Sunday, all providing the exact same version of the facts, and all of them claiming Seress wrote the song on the break-up of his own romance (contradicting the

Not to even mention, that the suicides part of this article seems to be directly copy+pasted from the article at phespirit.info, possibly being therefore even copyvio. All, in all, I think this article, as well, as the Gloomy Sunday, and Laszlo Jávor, ones, need to be heavily rewritten, using

The references to Rezső Seress's family and girlfriend have been removed by the last editor, but as they stood I can only assume the writer (of the text I removed) read the article wrong and misconstrued its meaning (eg. that Billy
Holiday wrote this song/ killed herself).
433:
Sigh, Seress' girlfriend never committed suicide, IF he ever had a girlfriend. That was Jávor's girlfriend who committed suicide. Thing is, there are like at least 3 different version of this, and how Gloomy Sunday came to be:
386:
OK, so according to
Knowledge (XXG), Billie Holiday's family and girlfriend committed suicide because of that song. But that's nothing compared to those 17 suicides in Hungary and 200 worldwide the song triggered according to
437:
1. That Seress' broke up with his girlfriend, then wrote Gloomy Sunday in her memory, then she committed suicide at the reunion. This version is dubious, to say the least, considering the original title of the song -
