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:
“But this is neither here nor there—why do I mention it?—Ask my pen,—it governs me,—I govern not it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“The popularity of disaster movies ... expresses a collective perception of a world threatened by irresistible and unforeseen forces which nevertheless are thwarted at the last moment. Their thinly veiled symbolic meaning might be translated thus: We are innocent of wrongdoing. We are attacked by unforeseeable forces come to harm us. We are, thus, innocent even of negligence. Though those forces are insuperable, chance will come to our aid and we shall emerge victorious.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
