In the media

The Teddybears' single, "Punkrocker" (featuring Iggy Pop), is featured in a Cadillac television commercial directed by Daniel Askill, titled 'Roll' and features a time-line of Cadillac automobiles, from the original 1902 Cadillac to the 2007 Cadillac XLR sports convertible. The song also appeared in the background of a scene of NBC's Bionic Woman.

Thomas Rusiak's version "Hiphopper" can be heard in Kevin Smith's 2001 film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Music video

The music video portrays parts of New York's skyline at nighttime. Everyone's (except Iggy Pop who is seen in a car) head is replaced with a bear (so is the Statue of Liberty seen at the end.)
