The song plays during a mind-movie flashback (titled “Viet Cong Lookout”) of an experience at a bar during the Vietnam War that the character Johnny Marinville (Tom Skerritt) has in Stephen King’s film Desperation.
The song is sampled in the Super NES game EarthBound, as one of the songs played by the in-universe band Runaway Five, with the lyrics changed to 'Midnight Cosworth' due to the game's Midnight Blue Ford Sierra Cosworth.
The song is used in the sequel Fright Night Part II as well as its trailer.
The song is also played in the 2010 movie Megamind.
