It was later covered by comedy rock duo Barnes and Barnes.

It is accompanied by an electronically high-pitched chorus which repeats the originals chorus.
Actor Bill Paxton directed and appeared in the music video for the song, which aired on NBC television on Saturday Night Live, on December 6, 1980.
In the Treehouse of Horror VII (1996) episode of the animated television series, The Simpsons, Homer sings and hums the song as he carries a bucket of fish heads to the attic to feed Bart's mutant twin brother, Hugo.
Robert Haimer, one of the members of the group Barnes and Barnes, posted a version of the song on YouTube, where the phrase "fish heads" is replaced with "YouTube." [1]
