recordings by the ink spots have been featured in the popular "fallout" video game franchise. their recording of "maybe" was used as the opening theme of "fallout" (1997), as well as in the epilogue. it was also played on the in-game radio station galaxy news radio in "fallout 3" (2008), alongside their recordings of "i don't want to set the world on fire" and "into each life some rain must fall". "i don't want to set the world on fire" also features in both the game's trailer and its opening cinematic. the song "it's a sin to tell a lie" (bill kenny's solo, not original recording from 1941) is played on the in-game radio station radio new vegas in the 2010 video game "". in 2015, the group was once again featured in the "fallout" franchise, with their recording of the russ morgan and seger ellis ballad "it's all over but the crying" being used in the trailer for "fallout 4"; that song is also played on the in-game radio station diamond city radio, alongside "i don't want to set the world on fire", "maybe", and "into each life some rain must fall". the same songs appear in "fallout 76" alongside "we three (my echo, my shadow and me)".

shutter finds humor in the "fable of the trees" (judges 9). abimelech maneuvered to have himself proclaimed king in shechem, but jotham believed he was unfit to rule and the people foolish to accept him. jotham contrives a satire. "the trees went forth to anoint a king over them. they said to the olive tree, 'reign over us.' but the olive tree answered, ‘should i give up my oil, by which both gods and humans are honored, to hold sway over the trees?’ next, the trees said to the fig tree, ‘come and be our king.’ but the fig tree replied, ‘should i give up my fruit, so good and sweet, to hold sway over the trees?’ then the trees said to the vine, ‘come and be our king.’ but the vine answered, 'should i give up my wine, which cheers both gods and humans, to hold sway over the trees?' finally all the trees said to the thornbush, 'come and be our king'. the thornbush said to the trees, 'if you really want to anoint me king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, then let fire come out of the thornbush and consume the cedars of lebanon!'" then jotham left "for in that day, as in every subsequent age, there was no room for a satirist in the kingdom of an incompetent ruler".
