It was later performed by Billy Fury's character in the film That'll Be the Day featuring Keith Moon. The original Who recording of the song was later released on the rarities album Odds & Sods, as well as being released as a single at that time. It was featured during the credits of seminal Who documentary, The Kids Are Alright. A live version recorded by The Who at the BBC was released on their album BBC Sessions.
