Hungarian Dance No. 5 appeared in The Great Dictator while Charlie Chaplin's character is shaving a man to the tune of the song. The song is the tune of Friz Freleng's cartoon Pigs in a Polka, a version of the Three Little Pigs story. Satirical singer Allan Sherman used the tune for his song "Hungarian Goulash", about different kinds of cuisines.
