The innovative snare drum sound from "She Drives Me Crazy" quickly became heavily sampled among numerous different recordings as well as a popular television advertisement for Pepsi in the early 1990s. Z recalled of the Pepsi advert: "It was all over television, and there was no doubt as to what had inspired the sound, but it was before people thought seriously about protecting things like sounds. The legalities of sampling were still being thrashed out. No one was sure if you could copyright a beat or a groove." He proposed to his lawyer about tackling the Pepsi advert, who responded that Pepsi would win any court case due to them having "a lot of money and a lot of lawyers."
