This single had moderate success after being featured on the series finale of Sex and the City.[2] It was also featured in Britain on the BBC series World Cup Stories, France: Black, White and Blue. Here it was used to help emphasise the multi-cultural nature of the team which won the 1998 World Cup.
NBC's coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics featured the song in a segment on the scandalous swimming rivalry between the French Laure Manaudou and the Italian Federica Pellegrini. The song's title is a take off on the traditional folktale "Beauty and the Beast".
