The song, as iconic as any other Lunchtime ballad from the group, has been covered countless times by every type of band imaginable. One interesting alternate Rutle version can be found on the Yellow Submarine Sandwich album, Yellow Submarine Sandwich in Rutterland is a triumphant version meant to mark the return of the titular sandwich.
