In Other Media
The song was featured in the 1961 Billy Wilder film comedy One, Two, Three — in a key scene, the character Otto (Horst Buchholz), suspected of being a spy, is being tortured by East German police playing the song to him repetitively, eventually with the record off-center to create a weird howling variation of pitch. The actual recording was re-released in 1962 to capitalize on the film's success, but it did not rechart.
A faster version of the song appears on North American commercials for Yoplait Light yogurt in 2006. The song is also used in a television commercial for the YWCA, and in films such as Sister Act 2 and Revenge of the Nerds II.
Mud recorded the song in 1982
The song was also featured in the 1981 Aparna Sen film 36 Chowringhee Lane.
At the beginning of 2006 this song was also used in an advert for TV Easy magazine.
A French version of the song, by the French singer Richard Anthony, is used in the last shots and credits of the movie A Good Year.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
