The band Wall of Voodoo recorded the song "Tse Tse Fly" on their album Dark Continent.
In the 21st episode of Entourage "Exodus", Ari Gold uses the phrase "Tsetse Fly" to indicate that he is leaving his agency and invites other agents to join him. Ari mentions the phrase to some agents, who pass on the message by mentioning it to other agents. In a cruel twist of fate, one agent that Ari had belittled in the past, Adam Davies, sells out Ari instead of passing on the message. Ari is left without any support in his rebellion and is fired. Since the airing of the episode on August 28, 2005, the phrase "Tsetse Fly" has been adopted in business as a signal of disharmony within the organisation. Many businesses were 'stung' by the Tsetse Fly during the Global Financial Crisis.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Sanity consists in not being subdued by your means. Fancy prices are paid for position, and for the culture of talent, but to the grand interests, superficial success is of no account.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
