It made a brief appearance in movies such as Looney Tunes: Back in Action, How to Eat Fried Worms, White Chicks, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The song has also been featured on PBS Kids, and the TV series One Tree Hill, in the popular dancing games Dance Dance Revolution Extreme, Wii's Just Dance 2 and PlayStation 3's SingStar.

The song appears on the album D-D-Don't Don't Stop the Beat along with a live recording.

Since 2006, fans of the University of Iowa Hawkeyes popularized the song to celebrate notable Iowa victories online. Move Your Feet, which now enjoys cult-like status among Iowa fans, was initially used at the fan blog "Black Heart Gold Pants," and is now seen at GoIowaAwesome. The most recent iteration of the Move Your Feet celebration occurred after Iowa freshman Jordan Bohannon burned down the Kohl Center on March 2, 2017.
