It is mentioned several times in the TV series Dynasty as being the favorite song of Blake (John Forsythe) and Alexis (Joan Collins). They dance to it in Season 7 Episode 28, "Shadow Play", which originally aired on May 6, 1987.
A reference to the song is also made in the title of one episode of Bewitched (Season 8 Episode 5), "Bewitched, Bothered and Baldoni".[8]
It is sung and performed on piano by Hannah's parents during a Thanksgiving gathering at home in the 1986 film Hannah and Her Sisters.
The song was featured in both the 2004 play and the 2006 movie, The History Boys, as sung by Samuel Barnett’s character, Posner, a young, love-struck Jewish gay boy in reference to his unrequited crush on Dominic Cooper’s character, Dakin.[10]
Walt Kelly created three recurring characters for his comic strip Pogo, named Bewitched, Bothered, and Bemildred, who were anthropomorphic bats wearing derby hats. [11]
