Usage in media

In film and television

"Sandstorm" appeared on the pilot episode of popular Showtime series Queer as Folk , which first aired on 3 December 2000. [77] "Sandstorm" was also used in the 2001 Finnish film Tango Cabaret (Tango Kabaree). [78] In the third part of the Johnny English film series, Johnny English Strikes Again , the title character played by Rowan Atkinson dances to the beat of "Sandstorm" in a dance club scene. [79]

In sports

In the late 2000s, a marketing executive for the University of South Carolina added "Sandstorm" to the playlist of music at Williams-Brice Stadium during a Gamecocks football game. In a 2021 ESPN story, the executive recalled that he had tried using the track when he was employed at Vanderbilt University, but the Vanderbilt fanbase did not react strongly to it. After moving to South Carolina, he played the track at one football game, and received a fan reaction good enough that he decided to save it for a key moment in a later game. That moment would come in the last two minutes of a 2009 game against Ole Miss, when "Sandstorm" was played before back-to-back Gamecocks defensive plays that sealed an upset win over Ole Miss. Since that game, it has become a rallying anthem for South Carolina fans. [80] [81] The track is not only used at football games, but at many other South Carolina sports events, and has become so iconic among Gamecocks fans that some have even used it at their weddings. [82] On November 18, 2023, Darude made an appearance at a Gamecocks football game against Kentucky, performing a set during pre-game festivities as well as manning a booth during the game itself. South Carolina won 17-14. [83]

Professional wrestlers Toru Owashi [84] and Session Moth Martina as well as mixed martial artist Wanderlei Silva, and baseball pitcher Koji Uehara use "Sandstorm" as entrance music. It was also played at the 2006 Winter Olympics, and during the Ice Hockey World Championships. Nike used the composition in an advertisement series featuring the basketball opponents Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. [8] Kansas State University briefly used "Sandstorm" at men's basketball games, but banned it after the school's student section punctuated the track with chants of "Fuck KU!" during games against archrival Kansas; the school has more recently[ when? ] tried reintroducing it. [82]

Premier League football club Nottingham Forest plays the song before the start of second half during home games at the City Ground. [85]

The song was also used as the main theme song for the 2024 Copa América football tournament, with it playing before the start of every match. [86]

Sandstorm was played during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

In video games

Finnish video game developer Rovio Entertainment, developers of the video game Angry Birds , made a remix of the game's theme, mashing it with "Sandstorm" in 2016. On May 5, 2022, "Sandstorm" was included in the popular VR game Beat Saber, through their "Electronic Mixtape" DLC. Because of this, Darude became the first "Eurovision Song Contest" participant to feature one of their songs in the game.

In April 2024, the song was featured in a trailer for the videogame adaptation of Sand Land.

Internet phenomenon

The popularity of "Sandstorm" as background music for those who stream their video gaming on the Twitch platform led to a meme that any question asking for the name of any song was replied to with the comment "Darude – Sandstorm." [87]

As an April Fools' Day joke on 1 April 2015, YouTube displayed the message "Did you mean: Darude – Sandstorm by Darude" for all video search queries that involve music, in addition to adding a button which played the song during a video. [88] [89]
