Legacy and Influence
Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine covered this as a lounge version on his 2000 album Lounge Against the Machine and his 2006 album The Sunny Side of the Moon: The Best of Richard Cheese. Christian comedy rock band ApologetiX recorded a parody entitled "Simp Liztik", which appeared on their album Keep the Change.
Hed PE guitarist Wes Geer said that "Nookie" is "cheesy and is not as good as 'Bartender'. a catchy hook, but at least in my opinion, it's just kind of dumb. But somewhere along the way the business decided to support that one harder than they did 'Bartender', you know." Pharrell Williams, while recording N.E.R.D.'s 2008 album Seeing Sounds cited this song as part of the band's incentive and drive to record more energetic music, noting it as the last energetic hit single before the album's release.
On September 11, 2010, Matthew Wilkening of AOL Radio ranked the song at number 23 on the list of the 100 Worst Songs Ever, stating that Fred Durst "did it for the nookie, huh? We hope he got it, 'cause he's clearly going home without artist respect today."
