The song's movie debut was in the 1965 film Ski Party.
Tord, a character from Eddsworld, has a particular hate for this song.
It was used in the 2009 film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs during the montage of Flint making food for the townspeople (in this version, the song has one more key change at the end and goes faster).
Dusty Springfield never recorded the song for an album, but performed it once on TV, on the October 2, 1965 episode of BBC1's The Billy Cotton Band Show in the UK.
The song was used as the theme song to "Vacation Time," on CBC television from 1965 to 1968. This was a summer replacement series that ran from 1962 until 1968.[14][15]
