Popular Culture
The year of release, British comedian Rory Bremner, using the band name The Commentators, released a parodied version of the song as N-n-nineteen Not Out, about England's tragic performance in test cricket, with references to the England cricket team's disastrous 1984 home series against the West Indies in which the England captain David Gower had averaged 19. In 2002, Hardcastle admitted in an interview with Q Magazine that, despite objections from his record label, he had helped contribute towards the making of The Commentators' version of the song.
Manchester United used the "19" soundtrack to celebrate their nineteenth Premier League title in May 2011, and the song made a reappearance in the UK Top 40.

Famous quotes related to popular culture:
“The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
