Sampled in "Carhoppers", Positive K's follow-up to "I Got A Man". The album version of "Carhoppers" doesn't sample it, and doesn't even have the same lyrics. They basically rewrote the song from the ground up to sound just like "I Got A Man" because that one was a big hit.

I tried to compose a mashup of You Light Up My Life and A Horse With No Name. This is as far as I got. I quit because my stomach was starting to hurt.

You ride on my horse
But I feel ashamed
I don't know his name

Here is Roy Orbison's original version of Blue Bayou, which he co-wrote with Joe Melson. This peaked at #29 on the October 19 1963 Hot 100. The uncredited background vocalists are the Anita Kerr Singers.

Blue Bayou has been recorded by more than 180 artists including Wayne Newton, Lynn Anderson, Billie Jo Spears, Frank Ifield, Tony Christie, Paul Mauriat, Dave Ashby, Tina Rainford, Keath Barrie, Charlie McCoy, Engelbert Humperdinck, Audrey Landers (yes, the Dallas actor), David Hasselhoff (yes, the Baywatch actor) and Harry Dean Stanton (yes, the Repo Man and Escape From New York actor). Here is a 2005 version by Texas Lightning, a quintet from Hamburg. Australian-born lead singer and ukulele player Jean Comerford sounds like Bart Simpson!
