The song was featured in Callaway's 2010 Super Bowl commercial. The song was the official song of the Premier League from the 2010–11 season up to the 2012–13 season. This meant the song (different segments of it) was present in most of the BPL Shows produced by Premier League Productions which was broadcast around the world. A purported remix of the song is the theme tune of Kick Off, the show produced by PL Productions before the main Matchday Live coverage.[3] The song is also used by the band's home town team, Leicester City as goal music. It is also featured in the F1 2010 video game.[citation needed]
