In other media

Mashup artist Girl Talk layered "In the Meantime" over the Terror Squad hip-hop song, "Lean Back" in his album All Day.

An excerpt of the re-recorded version of the song is used as the opening theme to the VH1 television series Hindsight in addition to appearing on the show's second episode.

The song features as a playable track in videogames Guitar Hero 5 (having been re-recorded by the band) and Rock Band 3 (in its original version present in Resident Alien).

The song is the opening music to David Spade's 1998 HBO special "Take The Hit".
