Elvis Costello covered the song solo on tour in 1989, and with Glenn Tilbrook, Chris Difford, and Nick Lowe at three festival dates that year. Rod Stewart performs a cover of the song on his 1976 A Night on the Town. Bruce Springsteen has covered the song several times live, especially during concerts on his 1975 tour. The version played during his second night at Hammersmith Odeon in 1975 stands out. Yugoslav rock band Crni Biseri released a Serbo-Croatian version of the song, entitled "Lepi flamingo", in 1966. Australian band Huxton Creepers from Melbourne released a cover of the song as a single in 1987.
