There has been repeated use (and sometimes parody) of parts of this overture in both classical music and popular media. It was the theme music for "The Lone Ranger" in radio, television and film, and has become widely associated with horseback riding since then. Two different parts were also used as theme music for the British television series "The Adventures of William Tell", the fourth part (popularly identified in the US with "The Lone Ranger") in the UK, and the third part, rearranged as a stirring march, in the US.
