In 1947, it was the number-one song on Billboard's "Honor Roll of Hits" and became a runaway pop sensation. In 1967, Bob Dylan and The Band recorded an homage to the song as part of The Basement Tapes. Entitled "Open the Door, Homer", the chorus nevertheless repeated the phrase "Open the door Richard."
