The Kingsmen version has remained the most popular version of the song, retaining its association with wild partying. It enjoyed a comeback in 1978–1979 and was associated with college fraternity parties when it was sung, complete with the supposedly obscene lyrics, by Bluto (John Belushi) and his fellow Delta House brothers in the movie "National Lampoon's Animal House" despite the anachronism of the film taking place in 1962, a year before the Kingsmen recording (although this is mitigated because the Deltas were fans of at least one black R&B musician and 1962 was five years "after" Richard Berry released his original version of the song, plus the song had been popular with local bands in the Northwest following Rockin' Robin Roberts' 1961 single). Aside from the "Animal House" appearance, the song appeared in many other films, typically in raucous and humorous contexts. The 1995 film, "Mr. Holland's Opus", however, used the song in a serious context as an example of music that is just plain fun with no pretensions.
