Popular Culture
The song was released as downloadable content in the music video game Rock Band.
The song also featured in the setlist of the Kiss Alive 35 tour in 2008.
The song is mentioned - albeit briefly - in The Wastelands, the third installment of Stephen King's epic Dark Tower Series.
British wrestling ring announcer and former wrestler, 'Sweet' Stevie Aaron uses the song as his entrance theme.
The song was used in 2009 in a commercial for the cherry-flavored Dr. Pepper. The commercial features Gene Simmons on a couch with several women, in front of a large electric KISS logo which flashes when he says that the new product has a "KISS of cherry." His son enters and scolds him for over-emphasizing the word "kiss," as the flavor is very smooth. The spot ends with "Dr. Love" reminding the audience to trust him, as "I'm a doctor!" A variant of this ad aired during Super Bowl XLIV.
The Canadian 8 track tape version of the song is extended by about 55 seconds, with a smoothly edited-in repeat of the guitar solo.
Most recently, the song was featured in the film Magic Mike.
