 One of the most memorable covers of the song was done by Stan Laurel in the Laurel and Hardy film "The Flying Deuces" (1939), as Laurel takes the bed strings and plays the song on it like a harp.It was an ironic gesture as the boys, who joined the FFL, were caught deserting and were to be shot at dawn.The song is also referenced in Tennessee Williams's play "The Glass Menagerie" as the music heard emanating from the Paradise Dance Hall across the alley from the Wingfields' tenement building.
