Cover Versions
Concurrent to the Starland Vocal Band's version, country singer Johnny Carver had a Top 10 cover of his own on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. In 1983, the Circle Jerks also covered this song as one of the six cover versions on "Golden Shower of Hits (Jerks on 45)", which appears on their third album with the same title. British experimental folk music band Current 93 used an industrial-style cover version as an introduction to their performances of their 2009 album. Claude François sang it in French as "Dimanche après-midi". Actor Will Ferrell and his co-stars in the film Anchorman: the Legend of Ron Burgundy performed the song a cappella during the film, and later released a full version.
