In Other Media
The name of the song serves as the title of a 2011 drama film starring Sean Penn as an aging rock star. In one scene, the main character attends a concert in which David Byrne performs the song. During the performance, a staged setting of a sixties-style living-room behind the band is gradually suspended perpendicular to the floor and crosses the concert hall towards the camera. The musicians all bow at the same time not to be hit by the stage with a very theatrical effect.
The song was featured in the 2007 film Lars and the Real Girl during a party scene.
It was also featured in the Oliver Stone 1987 film Wall Street, starring Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen, as well as the 2010 sequel, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
In 2011 the song briefly appears in the Steve Carell romantic-comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love.
The song is briefly played in the 2009 romantic-comedy He's Just Not That into You.
