In 1994, Film Australia produced a one-hour documentary about the crash called Aeroplane Dance. It documents the crash and the Yanyuwa Aeroplane corroboree. By then, two further records had been issued in the US. Goffin and King showed some restraint in deciding on a girl group ballad, Keep Your Hands Off My Baby, as the follow-up, rather than a dance tune, although the third song was the decidedly inferior Let's Turkey Trot. Both sold well, but did not reach the level of popularity of the Loco-motion. The fourth Little Eva single was the dire Old Smokey Locomotion. It sank almost without trace.

Disco group Ritz covered this song in 1979. Their version peaked at number one in New Zealand for seven non-consecutive weeks in 1980, [33] becoming the most successful record of the year there. [34] The Ritz version was also a top-20 hit in Australia, Sweden, and Switzerland. [35] [36] The live arrangement that Kylie Minogue performed on her Golden Tour and Summer 2019 Tour is based upon this recording. Here in the heart of spooky season, it seems important to say: If you’re a fan of horror stories of any stripe and you’re somehow not reading Catriona Ward, please fix your life immediately. Haunting, stunning, Little Eve offers a grand tension to shatter the world. Ward is consistently brilliant, and her deft hand once more guides us into humanity's deepest shadows. Atmospheric and unforgettable." - Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of TeethIt is often claimed that Goffin and King were amused by Boyd's particular dancing style, so they wrote " The Loco-Motion" for her and had her record it as a demo (the record was intended for Dee Dee Sharp). However, as King said in an interview with NPR and in her "One to One" concert video, they knew she could sing when they met her, and it would be just a matter of time before they would have her record songs they wrote, the most successful being "The Loco-Motion". Music producer Don Kirshner of Dimension Records was impressed by the song and Boyd's voice and had it released. [2] The song reached No. 1 in the United States in 1962. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. [2] a b c d Murrells, Joseph (1978). The Book of Golden Discs (2nded.). London: Barrie and Jenkins Ltd. p. 148. ISBN 0-214-20512-6.
