When Hal Douglas is heard phoning LaFontaine, the familiar intro to the "Theme from New York, New York" is heard on the music track as a subtle indication of Douglas' east coast management. This is abruptly interrupted by a sample from the 1985 electronica song "Oh Yeah" by Swiss band Yello, once LaFontaine ignores Douglas and introduces Al Chalk. An excerpt from the score of Groundhog Day ("Medley: Phil's Piano Solo/Eighteenth Variation from Rapsodie on a Theme of Paganini") is heard when Mark Elliott enters the film.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“They’re semiotic phantoms, bits of deep cultural imagery that have split off and taken on a life of their own, like those Jules Verne airships that those old Kansas farmers were always seeing.... Semiotic ghosts. Fragments of the Mass Dream, whirling past in the wind of my passage.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
