The song was also a hit in ’60s for British singer Julie Driscoll. The first few seasons of AbFab feature Driscoll singing the tune with Jennifer Saunder’s husband Ade Edmondson (he played Vivian in ‘The Young Ones’).

Later series of the show featured a version sung by Blondie lead singer Deborah Harry. Check out Kylie’s version of the tune.
