Trivia

An excerpt of the song was used in the Buchanan and Goodman 1961 break -in novelty recording entitled "Berlin Top Ten" which dealt with the Berlin Wall crisis, during the Cold War, as Boris the Russian Spinner, the People's Disc Jockey, introduced the song as "I'm Gonna Knock on your Door" by the Secret Police, before an announcement of another cold war issue interrupted the song.
