Later Versions
In the satirical TV sketch show Spitting Image, in which news figures and celebrities were lampooned in the form of grossly-caricatured rubber puppets, it was not uncommon for Prince Charles to be seen leaving a room quietly singing the Ying-Tong song to himself. This was a reference to the fact that Prince Charles is a fan of the Goon Show.
The song gave its name to the 2008 stage show, Ying Tong: A Walk With the Goons.
The Muppets also did a version of the Ying Tong Song in one of their episodes.
Jon Anderson, former lead singer for the Progressive Rock group Yes, recorded a short version, released in 2005 on his State of Independence EP.

Famous quotes containing the word versions:
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
