After seeing the band perform live, Jim James, lead vocalist, guitarist, and

songwriter for My Morning Jacket said, "...It kind of gave me this good, foreboding
feeling. It was like seeing one of the great bands very young."[2] This encouraged
James to remix the song, and his 'Apple C' remix was included on the deluxe edition
of An Awesome Wave.

The song was used by Miley Cyrus during her Bangerz Tour, in a bondage-themed video
interlude.[3] This later inspired the band to sample a line from her song "4x4" on
"Hunger of the Pine", the lead single from their second album This Is All Yours.[4]

"Fitzpleasure" was aired as the theme song in episode six, season eight of the
television series Weeds in 2012. In 2013, "Fitzpleasure" was aired in a Nokia Lumia
925 commercial in Europe and Lumia 928 commercial in the United States. The UK
trailer for The Way, Way Back also featured "Fitzpleasure". It was also aired in
episode one, season one of Broad City.

It was played in the opening scene of The Blacklist season 5 episode 4.
