[6] On 31 March 1979, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem hosted by IBA and broadcast live throughout the continent.

[16][17] In 2018, to celebrate Israel's 70th year of independence, the Israeli Ministry of Culture and Sport released an updated version of the song.

This version was sung by Atari and pop superstar Eden Ben Zaken and was performed in Jerusalem at the official state ceremony.

[18] The husband-and-wife singing duo of Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme released the song in early 1979 on Warner Brothers Records.

The song was a modest hit on the adult contemporary chart, and the couple also performed it on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

In 1987, Oshrat's composition was covered by Marika Gombitová, Karel Gott and Josef Laufer [cs], and recorded under the title "Hrajme píseň" ("Let's Play a Song") in Czechoslovakia.

As a trio (featuring solo part performed by Czech actress Věra Galatíková), the song was presented on November 1, 1987, and with alternate lyrics by Zdeněk Borovec [cs] during the pre-filmed live show Abeceda: G+L created by Česká televize.
