Usage in media

[edit | edit source]

The song is featured on the soundtrack to the films Step Brothers, Chasing Amy, Fathers' Day, Krippendorf's Tribe,[citation needed] and Digimon: The Movie.[37] The song is featured as a playable track in the North American and European versions of the 2003 video game Donkey Konga, as well as the 2009 video game Band Hero and the 2015 video game Rock Band 4.[38] It is often credited as the origin of the Disney Channel theme, but the jingle was actually composed by Alex Lasarenko.[39] Likewise, there is no official tie between this song and the 1997 rearrangement of the theme from America's Funniest Home Videos, which was assembled by Dan Slider, based on his own previous theme.[40]
