Mention in Movies
- In the remake of the movie "The Ladykillers" (directed by the Coen brothers), the old lady Ms. Marva Munson is seen filing a complaint at the local police station. She says that her neighbors are playing "that hippity hop music" too loud and that the lyrics "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" do not make any sense anyway. Later on, when meeting prospective tennant Professor G. H. Dorr (played by Tom Hanks), she brings up the title again as an example of music she does not like to listen to.
- In the TV show Sleeper Cell, one of the member of the cell is a fan with this song, and sings it twice in the first season, even performing it on stage at a karaoke bar.

Famous quotes containing the words mention and/or movies:
“It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say “ladies and gentlemen,” but a lady should say, “gentlemen and ladies.” You mention your friend’s name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, “ladies and gentlemen.” It is a lack of good manners.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Now here this, now here this. Reveille. I repeat, reveille. Attention all hands. Because another cigarette butt has been found in the container of the Captain’s palm tree, there will be no movies again tonight. That is all.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
