Cover versions and media appearances
A cover version by Robin Wright was released in 1988 on Fantasia Records.[3]
The song was parodied in the 1983 series of Three of a Kind as "Sing a Soppy Song". David Copperfield (as David Van Day) sang the prophetic line "I'll think I'll go and join Bucks Fizz" (to which Tracey Ullman replied "Well, you know where your suitcase is"),[4] which is the group Van Day later joined in 1996.
