The single was sampled by Tamperer featuring Maya for their 1998 dance hit "Feel It".It was also interpolated in the 2007 song "Carry Feelings" by South Rakkas Crew and T.O.K.

The song again rose to prominence when in 2006, psycho-illusionist Derren Brown used the song along with various other psychological motivators to convince a group of 4 people to each commit a bank robbery by their own free will. The song was also featured on Jane Fonda's early 80's work out VHS tapes.
