The Everly Pregnant Brothers, whose witty cover versions have made them a Sheffield institution, have given the lyrics a typically witty makeover.

The famous opening line, for example, is reimagined as '˜Tha were working as a buffer girl at Mappin & Webb when I met you'.

The YouTube video was only published on Friday but has quickly racked up more than 3,6000 views.

Fans have lavished the song and accompanying video with praise - in true Sheffield style, of course.
