Almost 20 years later, the co-writer of the song contacted him to say the song was being used in a bank advert in Britain. The song took off and was covered by other bands and was sung in pubs at closing time. In 2011, it was used in another British advert and went to number 1 on the country charts for both iTunes and Amazon in the U.K. Who’da thunk it, eh? That Hobo was one smart cookie...he could understand everything and he acted on it...lol 1 Link to comment
