The song is best known from an instrumental version by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, released as a single and on their 1965 album Going Places, both of which were No.1 hits in America. The song featured Alpert's trumpet over a latin rhythm backing and was later used as the "Bachelor’s Theme" on the long-running American television show The Dating Game.
"Spanish Flea" was also covered by Trudy Pitts on her debut album Introducing the Fabulous Trudy Pitts (1967).
More recently, the tune featured in an episode of The Simpsons, with the character Homer Simpson singing the lyrics.
