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:
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)
“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)
