Usage in Other Media
Libby Croker, a character in the British series Shameless, is obsessed with the song. She plays it in her mobile library; she also sings to the lyrics in one of the episodes of the seventh series, while dreaming of her own Heathcliff.
In the British series I'm Alan Partridge, Alan Partridge (played by Steve Coogan) is seen singing it as he walks into a travel tavern and, much to his dismay, is joined very briefly by the hotel's manager.
Steve Coogan can again be heard singing the song in another British series, The Trip, this time alongside Rob Brydon, in Episode 2, "L'Enclume"; both actors play fictionalised versions of themselves.
Comedian Noel Fielding danced to the song during Series 3 of the UK entertainment show Let's Dance For Comic Relief, winning a place in the show's finale. His routine featured some of the iconic choreography of the original music video, and he also donned a similar costume. In the finale, he performed the same routine again. After Fielding had danced, fellow Mighty Boosh writer Julian Barratt strode onto the stage dressed as Heathcliff.

Famous quotes containing the words usage and/or media:
“...Often the accurate answer to a usage question begins, “It depends.” And what it depends on most often is where you are, who you are, who your listeners or readers are, and what your purpose in speaking or writing is.”
—Kenneth G. Wilson (b. 1923)
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
