 This
comedy starring John Cusack and David Ogden
Tiers features the song "Everybody Wants
Some!!" from Women
and Children First during a scene when Lane
Myer (Cusack's character) is daydreaming while
working at a hamburger joint. He pretends
he is a mad scientist in the vein of
Frankenstein, turning a raw hamburger patty into
a "living" rock and roll
beefcake. The stop-animation scene
features the burger jamming on a striped guitar,
similar to Edward's "Shark" guitar
seen on the Women and Children First cover, and
singing "Everybody Wants Some!!"
Originally, the tune was uncredited, but when
the video was re-released to the general public
on 8/26/97, credit for the song's usage had been
added.

 An
untitled song Eddie Van Halen originally wrote
for the film The Wild Life is heard in
this film. Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox)
travels back in time and pays a visit to his
sleeping father (Crispin Glover). Marty
McFly, wearing a radiation suit, pulls out a
cassette tape labeled "Edward Van Halen."
He places it into a Sony Walkman, straps the
headphones onto the unknowing ears of his science
fiction loving Dad, and cranks it up effectively
scaring the living daylights out of his father,
who upon seeing the young McFly is convinced he
is a space traveler from a far off galaxy.
