  ## Yo La Tengo cover
  
  The song was covered by Yo La Tengo for their 2000 album And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out, and was released as a single, charting at number 87 on the UK Singles Chart. The artwork for the single featured a photograph of comedian Amy Poehler.
  
  Reviewing the single, AllMusic wrote: "Yo La Tengo rework the song so thoroughly that it sounds like an original. [...] as a stylistic choice, it works beautifully, not least because when David Henry's cello line comes in towards the song's end, its unexpected beauty is all the sweeter because of the genial goofiness of the rest of the arrangement."
