The Feeling played this song live for Children in Need 2006. They also performed it as part of the BBC One New Year's Eve 2006 celebrations and at the Concert for Diana the following year. An edited version of the song also appeared in the 2007 film Good Luck Chuck in which the lyrics "but you never call at all" were cut out. It was also used in the advertisement for The Life of Brian on E4 (UK) as background music.
In 2006, the song was parodied by DJ Chris Moyles, when he recorded his own version, "The Davina McCall Song".
Kerry Ellis included her version of the song on her debut album Anthems (2010).

The video for the song (based on the film Casino) features the band dressed both as gangsters and FBI agents. One member of the gangsters makes a deal with the FBI, leading to a shoot-out at the end of the video. The video features Martin Goddard, lead singer of Welsh band Sierra Alpha.
