A parody of the song is briefly sung near the end of the film Austin Powers in Goldmember when Goldmember is shocked by his tractor beam device and sings "Fahza can you hear me".
The musical Spamalot features a song called "You Won't Succeed on Broadway (If You Don't Have Any Jews)" which refers greatly to Jewish influence on musicals. At a certain point during the song, the lead singer, Sir Robin calls out, "Arthur, can you hear me?!"
The song was referenced in the BBC comedy series Beautiful People in Episode 2 of the first series, "How I Got My Nose". A brief excerpt is sung by the character of Debbie Doonan, as played by Olivia Colman.
In the episode of The Simpsons "Sleeping with the Enemy", Bart overhears Nelson singing the song while Nelson is staying with the family, as an ode to Nelson's missing father.
In an episode of the show Will & Grace , Jack sings the song on separate occasions, as does Will in an earlier episode while visiting a therapist.
In the "Grilled Cheesus" episode of Glee , Rachel sings the song for Burt Hummel (who is in a coma) and his son Kurt. Rachel sings the song outside (a nod to Yentl in the film) and later beside Burt's hospital bed, together with Mercedes, Quinn, Finn, and Carol, while Kurt watches from outside the room, feeling emotional.
The instrumental version of the song is frequently used as background music in figure skating competitions.
The song is featured several times in Deadpool 2 where a running joke is made out of the title character Deadpool noticing (initially while watching the film Yentl with his girlfriend), the "obvious" similarities between it and the song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from the film Frozen . As he is dying towards the end of the film, Deadpool sings the song's chorus to his teammates.
