Alternate recordings based on the Crew Cuts' recording were heard in the TV series "Happy Days" (1974–84) and in the film "Clue" (1985). The original Chords' recording was featured in "The Super" (1991), "The Sum of Us" (1994), "Cry-Baby" featuring Johnny Depp (1990), "Two of Us" (2000), "Road House" (1989), and the mini-series "Lipstick on Your Collar" (1993). The Trevor Horn Orchestra covered the song for the "Mona Lisa Smile" (2003) soundtrack. Pixar's "Cars" used a long recording of the original song (2006), and Disney California Adventure prominently incorporated it into the nightly neon lighting ceremony in the new Cars Land. The song is briefly featured in a Nexgard Chewables for Dogs commercial. The song was featured in a scene in Dolphin Tale (2011).
