This song was parodied - many years after - on the 1970s tv series Monty Python's Flying Circus, in their Dennis Moore sketch, which depicted a masked highwayman from the 18th century (intended to mimic in appearance the real life highwayman Dick Turpin) stealing lupins (parodied as "... He steals from the poor, Gives to the rich, Silly bitch!"). It's also played at every Nottingham Forest home match. The song, the titles, and the whole show was also parodied in the "Hancock's Half Hour" television episode "Ericson the Viking" in 1958, where Sid James talks Hancock into appearing in an on-the-cheap historical drama, "Ericson, Ericson, Ericson the Good: Ericson, Ericson, nipping through the wood...ole!"
