The single had a resurgence in popularity when the song was interpolated by the Fugees on the group's 1996 hit single "Fu-Gee-La". Trey Songz also heavily sampled the chorus of the song in his 2014 hit, "Na Na".[2]
It was also covered by the trip hop group Attica Blues in 1998, on a Japan-exclusive single release. [3]
