Woods (music), the song became a success that same year with the release of recordings by Nick Lucas, Ben Bernie, and Jean Goldkette. The song was then revived during 1948 by several artists, most notably Art  Mooney, whose recording topped the charts for three weeks. Other charting 1948 versions were made by Russ Morgan (No. 6), Alvino Rey (No. 6), The Three Suns (No. 10), The Uptown String Band (No. 11), and Arthur Godfrey (No. 14). During modern times the song is perhaps most associated with "Merrie Melodies" cartoons, as it was used in several of them, and a common tune played by the string bands in Philadelphia's Mummers Parade. The Sons of Ben, the official supporters' group of Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union, have adopted the song as one of their chants, singing  at every home match at the 20 minute, ten second mark, symbolic as the founding year of the Union.
