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.

Hysterica passio dragged this quarry down.
None shared our guilt; nor did we play a part
Upon a painted stage when we devoured his heart.”
