The most commercially successful and widely known version to date is the 1968 US Top 10 hit by The Human Beinz, which was their only major chart success.
The Isley Brothers
The Isley Brothers' original version, released as a single on Wand 131,[3] failed to make the pop or R&B charts.
Dave Marsh, in his Book of Rock Lists[7] named the version by the Human Beinz "The most negative song to hit the Top 40," noting that the word "no" is sung over 100 times in a mere 2:16. Marsh also counts the word "nobody" 46 times more; he adds "for balance, they throw in the word Yeah once".
The L.A. punk band the Dickies recorded a lightning-fast version of the song on their 1998 all-covers album, Dogs from the Hare that Bit Us.
Garage/punk musician Nobunny reworked it for his track "Nobunny Loves You".
A lip-sync of the Human Beinz version was used in the cold open of the first episode of the seventh season of the American TV series The Office, "Nepotism", featuring all the characters of the show.
A cover was featured in at least four television commercials: in a 1987 Friskies cat food commercial, where the line "like we do" was changed to "like Friskies";[9] in the mid to late 1980s for Mita Photocopiers and Idaho Potatoes (both with significantly altered lyrics);[10][11] in the early 2010s for Nike;[12] and in the mid-2010s for the Dish Network.[13]
The Human Beinz version has been featured in many movies as well, such as when Mike Sarne sings it in the film Seaside Swingers (1965) under the title "Indubitably Me". It also appears in Troop Beverly Hills, The Departed (when Billy gets into a brawl in a store), Recess: School's Out (as the students and teachers of Third Street School face off against Phillium Benedict and his henchmen), and Kill Bill Vol. 1 (when the Bride fights the Crazy 88s).
