In Popular Culture
The song was referenced in the Family Guy episode "Emission Impossible," in which Stewie Griffin sings the song while playing the piano at a party. Later, in season 5's Padre de Familia, it is replayed in a cutaway gag when Patrick Swayze is arrested for pedophilia (referencing Swayze being older than the character he was playing) and the song plays while he is being raped in jail.
It has also been featured in a television advertisements for the Irish fast food restaurant abrakebabra and Hungry Jacks in Australia around the early 2000s, and in 2010 for a television advertisement for Tim Hortons in Canada. In the US, the song is now used in a commercial for Pretzel M&M's.
