Notable Covers, Remixes and Samples
- In 1974, Cat Stevens recorded a version of the song which peaked at number six on the Hot 100.
- Claude François recorded that song in French as La vie d'un homme (lit. "A man's life"). Notably, this is thanks to Cat Stevens having sung it, as Claude François also adapted Wild World (in 1971 as Fleur Sauvage; lit. "Wild Flower"), thus having a former business relation with Cat Stevens as well as an ear out for his musical hits.
- In 1993, Jimmy Buffett covered and recorded the song.
- Sam & Dave recorded at least one version that appears on a couple albums released after their formative years such as the I Thank You compilation released in 2002 by the Brentwood Records label.
- In 2012, Andreas Weise covered and recorded the song. This will be Andreas first single from the upcoming album which will be released in August the same year.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or samples:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations. I refuse, and the Republican Party refuses, to endorse that method of sham and shoddy economy.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
