A shortened version of the track "Do You Wanna Taste It" is used as the opening credits song for the title sequence of the 2022 DC Extended Universe HBO Max series Peacemaker. The sequence features the entire cast performing a dance, completely deadpan, choreographed by Charissa-Lee Barton. The title sequence was widely praised, and it led to Wig Wam, who were dropped by their booking agency shortly before it was released, to experience a career resurgence.[10][11][12][13][14]
