It is praised for its "innocent elegance", though Barney Hoskyns called it a "trite ditty" and wondered what Neil Young, whose protest song "Ohio" was recorded and released by CSNY in June 1970, would have thought of it: "the journey from' Ohio' back to' Our House' seemed to sum up a general failure of nerve in the LA music scene". </P> <P> The song has been covered by a number of artists, including Helen Reddy, The Onyx, Phantom Planet, Sheena Easton, Kidsongs and Sharon, Lois & Bram . </P> <P> It was also used as a commercial jingle for Eckrich sausage in the 1980s, and has appeared in various television shows and films, most notably in the 1996 Only Fools and Horses Christmas special, "Time on Our Hands", which was watched by 24.3 million viewers when it was broadcast in the United Kingdom . It was also used in an advert for Halifax Building Society in the 1990s . </P> <P> A portion of the song's lyrics were spoken in The Simpsons episode "Bart After Dark", by Reverend Lovejoy .
