Use
The bouncing ball has been used in many films and television programs over the years, notably in Mitch Miller's Sing Along with Mitch program (1961–1964), although Mitch himself denies there was a bouncing ball: "Mr. MITCH MILLER: Never was a bouncing ball. Everyone says there's a bouncing ball. We just had the lyrics (unintelligible) you had the two cameras and the stuff in black." More recently, it was used in the Disney Sing Along Songs series of children's videos (where the "ball" is shaped like Mickey Mouse's head) and in The Simpsons episode "22 Short Films About Springfield" (in which it accompanies Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel's theme song).
The bouncing ball is also used in some karaoke devices and software.

Famous quotes containing the word use:
“... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives. Fifty years hence they will seem to us as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the Hottentot seem today.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
