In Canada, Larry Lee & the Leesures had a hit version in 1967. In 1977, Barefoot Jerry covered the song on the album of the same name. In 1987 a
claymation music video was produced by
Aardman Animations taking place in outer space with aliens singing. Aardman Animations were approached by
Charly Records who owned the back catalog rights to many classic
R&B tracks. In the late '80s, classic R&B charted at the lower 100 on the charts and sometimes the owner would spend some marketing money on a song hoping to kick it into the top 20. The song is included as a full-length performance by
Walter "Wolfman" Washington and house band in the 2005 documentary film
Make It Funky!, which presents a history of
New Orleans music and its influence on
rhythm and blues,
rock and roll,
funk and
jazz. It was covered on the 1989 album
Southern Star by the American country music band
Alabama. Lead vocals were sung by the bands lead guitarist/fiddler
Jeff Cook. It was covered on
Joanie Bartels' 1991 album, "Dancin' Magic". It was covered by the
Kidsongs kids in their 1998 video, "I Can Dance!" It was included on the soundtrack album of the 2006 film
Hoot by
Jimmy Buffett and
Alan Jackson, on the MCA label. == References ==
