[edit] In popular culture
- In 1994 the song gained renewed interest after being featured in the film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The song was also re-released on the Australian charts, where it was a modest success. Because of its association with the film, the song is closely linked with gay culture.
- In The Simpsons episode "Homer's Phobia", Homer dances to the song. In another episode, "I'm with Cupid", Apu taught a parrot to sing "I Love the Nightlife" with clever new lyrics to Manjula. Marge was impressed although she hates the song, Homer admits that he hates it as well.
- In the 1979 horror-comedy film Love At First Bite, the vampire Dracula and his would-be bride dance to the song in a disco; however as of 2007, the current DVD release of the movie features a different song in the relevant scene.
