In 2014, NME named it the 260th Greatest Song of All Time. It is used on the 2014 Renault Twingo advertisement and in episodes of Futurama and Daria.

Music videos

The music video, directed by Beck himself, is partly a tribute to the film Mr. Freedom. Jack Black appears in the music video as a member of the Vision Warrior Men's Circle, along with Neil Strauss and Justin Meldal-Johnsen Surreal elements of the video include a refrigerator dry humping an oven, Kenny G (played by Meldal-Johnsen) in a room of football players, and a spinning mannequin of a zebra with a banjo.

There are several versions of the video. The original (once posted on Beck's website) was over 18 minutes long and extended the intro of the Men's Circle. The subsequent versions edited out the intro and ending, the latter truncating a pep rally speech by Jack Black's character.
