The song was played at Yankee Stadium before every New York Yankees game from 2004 to 2009.
The song served as the theme song for the Orange Krush during the 2005-2006 Men's Basketball season at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as well as the 2004-2005 Women's Swimming and Diving season at Miami University who went on to win their 4th consecutive MAC Championship.
