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.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
