In popular culture
"Kisses Over Babylon" the music video appeared in 8th season of Beavis and Butthead in the episode "Bathroom Break"
"40 Day Dream" was featured in a promo for season 5 of Mad Men.
"Janglin" was featured in a commercial for the 2011 Ford Fiesta.
"Home" was featured in a commercial for the NFL that focused on many cities and their home fans. It was used in the 2014 movie The Book of Life,[9] in an episode of Community entitled "Debate 109", and in the season 1 finale of Raising Hope. "Home" was covered by the cast of Glee in the sixth season episode "Homecoming". The commercial ubiquity of "Home" and other derivative pop folk songs eventually grew to frustrate Ebert.[10]
