The film inspired Academy Award winning singer/songwriter Glen Hansard of The Frames to write a song of the same name after he played on a tour of the film's screenings in rock venues in rural Ireland. The Frames "The Stars Are Underground" appeared on their "Dance the Devil" album in 1999. [Leagues, Review "I am Magic Hand"EP by The Frames"Dublin Event Guide" Feb 1999 ]
