It was used in the soundtracks to the video games 'SSX 3' and 'Wipeout 2097', and is also featured in the video game 'DJ Hero 2'. The song was featured in the 2000 movies 'Gone in 60 Seconds' and 'High Fidelity', as well as the 1997 film 'Dangerous Ground', the 1998 film 'The Acid House', the 1999 film 'Any Given Sunday' and in episodes of 'The Real Hustle'.
