The song was covered on the television series Glee (2009) (episode "Laryngitis" (2010)). Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) sings this to Rachel Barry (Lea Michele) to express his opinions about her relationship with her then-boyfriend Jeese St. James (Jonathan Groff). This version was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) (2010).
In regards to the song's use in movies such as Boogie Nights (1997), 13 Going on 30 (2004), and Couples Retreat (2009) over 20 years after its original release, Springfield said, "I'm thrilled by it. As a writer, all you can ask is that a song has legs. It has an appeal that keeps coming back.".
