The single was also re-released a few months later by Harvest in parts of Europe but featuring the Ayers original "The Owl" on the B-side.

The song has also been recorded by Zarah Leander (1931, in Swedish), Billie Holiday (1940), Doris Day (1961), Sammy Davis Jr (1962), Nina Simone (1966), The Techno Twins (1981), Klaus Nomi (1982), Linda Ronstadt (1984), The Adicts (1985), William S.
