The version of the song on Lullabies to Paralyze first appeared in November 2004, on the soundtrack of the racing video game Need for Speed: Underground 2. The song is available as downloadable content for Rock Band 3 and also appears in the end credits during the Entourage episode "The Release".

A music video for the song was released that was later castigated by guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen:

...[I]t just happened to be the only time we listened to the record label and it was such a fuck up on our part. The video we ended up with for that song is so lame! It was three of us against a green screen with effects added later. It was like a fucking Gap commercial. It was terrible. Just terrible. We were on the road so we weren't in control of it.
