In popular culture
Four years later, Sugarloaf described the process of recording "Green-Eyed Lady" and selling it to the recording industry (namely the failed attempt to get CBS Records to distribute the record) in their song "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You," which also became a hit.
The song is featured in the 1997 comedy film Home Alone 3, starring Alex D. Linz and Rya Kihlstedt.
