The song was prominently featured in the 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning. The song was also included as a playable song in the North American Home Version of Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA 2. In the 3rd episode of Will and Grace 'Head Case', Will sings this song in the bathroom while he shaves, to which Grace responds "We're just like fifty men and a mirrored ball away from being a gay disco".
