In 1984, Diana Ross covered the song. It appears on the album Swept Away.[6] This version was later sampled in the 2011 vaporwave song "リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー" ("Lisa Frank 420 / Modern Computing") by Macintosh Plus,[7] where it was slowed down and chopped and screwed, with the pitch changed. It became an Internet meme worldwide.[8]
