In September 2020, the song became popular having been featured in social media memes.[1] The origin of the meme was posted on 2 September 2020 on Twitter by user adamsg1878; it contained footage from the music video of Coldplay's "Adventure of a Lifetime" featuring chimpanzees dancing around and enjoying themselves while "Spirit of the Blues" music played. It was accompanied with the text "We're actually signing James, Allan and Doucoure".[2]

The song reached #65 in the Official Singles Chart Top 100 and #1 in the downloads chart for 2-8 October 2020.[3] It was re-released on vinyl on 2 October 2020 by Everton F.C. in conjunction with Cherry Red Records, with a piano version of Z-Cars on the B-side.[4]
