BET cable network aired and produced a phone-in game show named after the song (which was also the theme song). Julie Rogers hosted this show which was a short-lived, live call-in game show where home viewers have to answer one question of the day that was followed by a panel of three celebrity judges ranking the best responses for a prize. It aired from 1988 to 1989. • On
Will & Grace, Karen tells Jack that this is the song to which she and Stan make love. She then walks in on her husband cheating on her with the same song playing. Closed captioning for that episode incorrectly credits the song to
Sly and the Family Stone. • In ''
That '70s Show'', in the episode "
Water Tower" (June 14, 1999), Eric walks in on his parents having sex to the song and it plays every time he has recurring nightmares and thoughts of his parents. It also plays on his radio. •
Ray Romano's character sings in a variation of the song while eating his wife's
braciole in the
Everybody Loves Raymond season 4 episode 18, "Debra Makes Something Good" (February 28, 2000). • New York radio station
WCBS-FM had a show in the morning named after the song (which was also the theme song). The host told the listeners about a positive true event that happened that day.
The Bobby Bones Show also has a segment named after the song. • The song is featured in the season 3 finale of
Titans. After
Dick Grayson,
Conner Kent, and
Gar Logan defeat
Jonathan Crane, Dick calls
Barbara Gordon and asks her to "tell him something good".
Bruce Wayne's computer mistakes this request for Dick telling it to play the song, which leads into a montage of the aftermath of the Titans’ heroism. ==Ewan McVicar version==
