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:
“He had forty-two boxes, all carefully packed,
With his name painted clearly on each:
But, since he omitted to mention the fact,
They were all left behind on the beach.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually it’s the way things happen to you in life that’s unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it’s like watching television—you don’t feel anything.”
—Andy Warhol (1928–1987)
