The most famous story associated with the Dexys Midnight Runners’ version of this song was when the band performed the song on the popular British music show Top of the Pops, a large photograph of Scottish darts player Jocky Wilson was displayed on the screen behind them. For years, people assumed this was a mistake by the show’s producers, who were believed to have confused the darts player with the soul singer. However, Kevin Rowland later revealed that the “mistake” was actually his idea, done as a joke to amuse himself and his band. The producers had warned him that people would think it was a mistake, but he insisted, leading to one of the most memorable and bizarre moments in the show’s history.
