As someone named David Watts this song has provided my friends with no end of amusement. Especially the line, "he is so gay and fancy-free". I can't tell you how many voicemails I've received that simply sing, "fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa".
I wish I could say my parents were inspired to name me after the song but they'd never heard it until I played it for them. Beyond the name I have nothing in common with the title character. I'm perpetually broke, can't get a date to save my life and certainly a "dull and simple lad". I, too, wish I could be like "David Watts".
