However, the best known version was recorded by ska/pop band Madness in 1981.
The song was featured in the 1989 movie, The Tall Guy starring Jeff Goldblum, Rowan Atkinson and Emma Thompson.
Suggs also appeared in the movie whilst singing this song.
The single was reissued to tie in with the film but was not a hit on that occasion.
A version with altered lyrics was used to advertise Midland Bank in 1994, and Madness' version was also used to advertise LoveFilm in 2009. Siffre's original version also appeared in a 2007 UK television advertisement for Vodafone.
The singer of the Belgian group Arid, Jasper Steverlinck, also released a cover of this song.
