The song is traditionally played by Cheltenham Town FC at home matches following a victory. The song has also been covered by Foster and Allen on their album Putting On The Style. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the song was recorded as a tribute to the National Health Service by celebrities from the Liverpool area, including Ricky Tomlinson, Glenda Jackson, Rick Astley, Jimmy Tarbuck, Shirley Ballas, Claire Sweeney, Les Dennis and Carol Decker. The video was released by the Ken Dodd Charitable Foundation, in association with the Comedy Trust and the Royal Court Theatre. (en)
