Bernie Cummins and his Orchestra also enjoyed success with the song in 1930 achieving a No. 20 spot.[3] Al Bowlly recorded the song with Les Allen in 1930 (see Al Bowlly Discography). Another British cover version was by the sibling duo Bob and Alf Pearson.[4]
In April of 1968, Tiny Tim sang a cover of this song live on The Johnny Carson Show and released it on his God Bless Tiny Tim album.[5] This unusual ukulele version of the song was used and repopularized in the SpongeBob SquarePants pilot episode, "Help Wanted". In January 2008, American Idol contestant Sarah Whitaker auditioned with the song. Valve originally considered using Tiny Tim's version of the song in the Meet the Pyro trailer for the class based multiplayer game Team Fortress 2, though ultimately went with "Do You Believe in Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful. Tiny Tim's version of the song was used in ABC television network show Speechless in season 3 episode 17. [citation needed]
