The song was the inspiration behind the Tom Tom Club's 1981 hit "Genius of Love," itself one of the most sampled tracks of the New Wave era. "We loved [‘More Bounce’] in part because it was played at a slower, funkier tempo by far than so many other dance tracks of the period," said Tom Tom Club’s Chris Frantz. "It was very relaxed and sexy while still maintaining a raw, hard edge." The song is featured in the 1999 film Any Given Sunday, the 2002 Rockstar video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and the 2018 South Park episode "A Boy and a Priest". It was also in an episode of "New Girl" (Season 4, episode 20), as well as featured in the 1995 French crime/drama film La Haine (Hate). tinyurl.com
