[Dad voice everytime this song comes on tv or radio]

Both songwriters of this song killed themselves over royalties about this song.

I knew it wasn’t Neil’s own but I always thought it was a trad/folk song.

In my head it was Dexys Midnight Runners who sang this.

I'm sure there's other more interesting covers of that song, but I couldn't find any. But apparently it's goes all the back to the 1700's.

I may listen to more of this podcast:

Some ghastly trivia from wikipedia

The song has found widespread usage in the sports world. In 1988, to support Sport Aid, Status Quo re-recorded the song as "Running All Over the World" with slightly amended lyrics. It reached #17 in the UK Singles Chart. In the 21st century, Status Quo's 1977 rendition has become both an anthem of English football and European football more broadly, including as German side Bayer Leverkusen's post-goal track (a song played over the PA system whenever a goal is scored by the home team).[9] The song is played over the PA system after England international matches, to which the crowd sings along. It is also popular as a crowd chant, with both original and modified lyrics, at various clubs around England, including Arsenal [10] (modified) and Millwall [11][12] (original).

Speed this up, add some Techno, techno, techno & change some lyrics and you get the early 90's eurodance hit, Corona - The rhythm of the night
