[edit] Other appearances

The song "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight" is featured in the video game Guitar Hero II. When played as the Encore song at the end of the career mode's first tier, the in-game band's drummer spontaneously combusts upon the song's completion, a direct reference to This Is Spinal Tap.

In early 2007, American Express Small Business Services used "Gimme Some Money" (with vocals) as background music in a television ad.
