Have you had the meaning of a song change because you've seen it used elsewhere, say in a commercial, a movie, a campaign, a live show, a cover, etc.?

For me, I remember being a kid in the 70'sand hearing Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas. However, today it has new meaning because it's been used in the TV show Supernatural so much. Every time I hear the song now, I think of the TV show.

So whaddaya got?

One that immediately springs to mind is The Cars' Drive.
Released in 1984 it was a pleasant love song but following its use in Live Aid a year later, the song took on a different meaning altogether.
