The funk rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers released a cover as the first single from their fourth studio album Mother's Milk.
It has been featured in films, TV shows and video games, including Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, Beavis and Butthead, Center Stage, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Walking Tall, The Longest Yard, The Karate Kid, The Change-Up, Rocksmith and Guitar Hero Live.
A remixed version by the X-Ecutioners was featured in the video game SSX 3 while a cover version appeared in Guitar Hero.
FX used the song to promote The Ultimate Fighter: Live and it also serves as the show's theme song.
As part of the "Year of a Million Dreams" Celebration, Space Mountain at Disneyland in Anaheim, California was transformed into Rockin' Space Mountain. The song was used as its soundtrack for 16 weeks, from January 3, 2007, to April 26, 2007.
In 2000 British magazine Total Guitar named it the second greatest cover ever [wankers].
Red Hot Chili Peppers performed the song with other musicians as part of the all-star jam during the band's induction into the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
The music video for this version was directed by Drew Carolan and Bill Stobaugh, and was nominated for Breakthrough Video at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards.
