It also reached the top 20 in the Netherlands and Switzerland, and made it to the top 30 in West Germany and Australia, and the top 40 in the United Kingdom. The song was inspired by "I'm Your Jeanie", a single by Jeanie Tracy, who was a background vocalist for Sylvester. It was also featured in the film Trading Places (1983) and Argylle (2024).

Appearances in film and television

The song is heard throughout the entire scene where Billy Ray Valentine hosts a party in Trading Places, a comedy movie starring Eddie Murphy as Billy Ray Valentine and Dan Aykroyd as Louis Winthorp III. The song also appears in the 1989 AIDS drama Longtime Companion, as well as the 2001 TV miniseries Further Tales of the City, and in both cases its use is an anachronism, being heard in scenes set a year before the song was even released. The song was also featured in the 1984 Oscar-winning documentary The Times of Harvey Milk. The song is covered by Sandra Bernhard in the 1990 film version of her stage show, Without You I'm Nothing. It is used on multiple occasions in the 2024 movie Argylle (Sometimes reedited). It is also featured in the 2021 Channel 4 TV series It's a Sin during a club scene whilst Ritchie explains the various theories around the origins of HIV.

The song appeared in the "lip sync for the crown" segment of the season 8 finale of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars where contestants and finalists Jimbo and Kandy Muse performed it to impress RuPaul and ultimately win the competition.
