Of Montreal did a cover of this song, the Zombies version is the original. Anyone who likes early Of Montreal or other Elephant 6 stuff should check out the album Odessey And Oracle.
This song actually comes off as just a little bit bittersweet to me, despite how cheery it sounds. The guy sounds genuinely happy for his friends, but it's implied he doesn't have that kind of close relationship with anyone himself. And as a bit of irony, I've read that all the people named in the chorus were actual couples the band knew, but almost all of them broke up by the time the album was out.
