It was also featured as a DTV music video on The Disney Channel, set mostly to clips of Disney characters bathing, particularly from the 1948 cartoon "Mickey and the Seal" (illustrating the singer's bath in the first verse), but also "Mickey's Birthday Party" (to illustrate the party he walks in on). Kevin Spacey performs the song in the Bobby Darin biopic "Beyond the Sea". The song was also featured on an insert on Sesame Street where the Zoo keepers at the Bronx Zoo are washing the elephants.

With the help of Dodd Darin, the actor also received exclusive music rights for no charge. With his Academy Award-winning performance in "American Beauty" (1999), Paramount Pictures became interested in distributing/financing "Beyond the Sea".
