To promote the single, the band also made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
The song is included in the videogames Madden NFL 10, the introduction theme in the 2003 PlayStation 2 game ATV Offroad Fury 3, as DLC for the Rock Band series that was released on December 8, 2009 and the debut trailer for Nail'd.

“The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
