The song is still heard at the Disneyland's and Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom's Enchanted Tiki Room attractions, as well as Disneyland's Remember...

The song was also covered by Los Lobos on the collection of Disney songs album called Los Lobos Goes Disney released in 2009 under the Disney Sound label. It is also covered by Cheryl Hines.
