Usage in media

In the 2011-12 season after Jason Roberts signed for Reading, the song became his (and the clubs) unofficial anthem. Being played before every home game during April as well as during their lap of honour and in the changing rooms when celebrating promotion.{{cite web |url=http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/readingfc/articles/2012/04/21/58932-live--reading-v-crystal-palace/ |title=LIVE - Reading v Crystal Palace / Reading Chronicle / Sport / Reading FC |access-date=2012-04-27 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120914045041/http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/readingfc/articles/2012/04/21/58932-live--reading-v-crystal-palace/ |archive-date=2012-09-14 |url-status=dead }}

The song also became the unofficial anthem of the Red Bull Racing Formula One team. During their successful 2011 season, upon winning that weekend's Grand Prix, the team's mechanics would play the song at a very high volume during the packing up. This would often interrupt broadcasters during their post race shows.{{cite web|url=http://lesliemabon.wordpress.com/2011/11/03/five-reasons-i-want-red-bull-and-vettel-to-stop-winning-tongue-firmly-in-cheek/|title=Five reasons I want Red Bull and Vettel to stop winning (Tongue firmly in cheek)|date=3 November 2011}}
