In Popular Culture
"I Remember You" appeared on the ABC series October Road, FOX's Reunion, Comedy Central's South Park and NBC's Friday Night Lights.
In 2000, the punk rock band The Ataris covered the song for the compilation album Punk Goes Metal. The cover featured a few sampled bars of the original Skid Row version at the beginning and Sebastian Bach's high note at the climax of the song.
The song was covered on Californication at the end of the episode "The Recused" by fictional band Queens of Dogtown. This version also appears on the show's Season 4 soundtrack.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
