[edit] In popular culture
The song has been featured regularly on television and in movies. It could for example be heard during the opening scene of NBC's Chuck episode 214 (Chuck Vs. The Best Friend) in 2009, in the pilot episode of TV series My Name Is Earl and it runs over the credits of Eric Bogosian's Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll.
Moreover, the song was heavily used by NBC's Sunday Night Football when broadcasting a New England Patriots game, in light of their scandal of stealing signals from opponents. It was also featured in the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, on the fictional Alternative radio station Radio X, and could be heard at the end of Gone in 60 Seconds. It recently appeared in the soundtracks for the music video games Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, Rock Band 3, & Power Gig: Rise of the SixString.
The song is featured on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll (the list has no particular ranking). The music video for the song is voted #47 on VH1's 100 Greatest Videos. The song is featured on The Prodigy's The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One (1999).
The Angels Stadium of Anaheim plays a clip of "Been Caught Stealing" whenever the home team steals a base.
The title of the song is also parodied in the TISM song "Been Caught Wankin'" from the album www.tism.wanker.com.

It was covered by Richard Cheese on the album of Aperitif for Destruction and jacksoul on the album mySOUL, the former being a parody satirizing the barking dogs heard throughout the song.
