The most famous recording of this song for baby-boomers featured Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm on the episode, " No Biz Like Show Biz" featured in the sixth season of the original series, The Flintstones.

The version sung by The Cowboy Church Sunday School was featured twice in the 2004 film, " A Dirty Shame." The song was first used as an angelic juxtaposition to the intolerant concept of "Not In My Back Yard" ("NIMBY").

Another US recording was made by the McGuire Sisters. The biggest hit version in the US was a recording by Stuart Hamblen's Cowboy Church Sunday School (peaking at #8 on the Billboard charts) in the UK, by Joan Regan and her son Rusty.
