The song was a response to an earlier (and still popular) song about a missing soldier, "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" by C.W. Murphy, Will Letters, and William J. McKenna.
The song is mentioned by James Joyce in Ulysses: "Yes, by Jove, Mr Dedalus said. That will be worth seeing, faith. As they turned into Berkeley street a streetorgan near the Basin sent over and after them a rollicking rattling song of the halls. Has anybody here seen Kelly? Kay ee double ell wy."
The song is also mentioned in Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn: "'They ride that horse you call the Macedonai,' he intoned absent-mindedly; and then, very clearly, 'Unicorn. Old French, unicorne. Latin, unicornis. Literally, one-horned: unus, one and cornu, a horn. A fabulous animal resembling a horse with one horn. Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold and the mate of the Nancy brig. Has anybody here seen Kelly?' He strutted joyously in the air, and the first fireflies blinked around him in wonder and grave doubt...."
