[edit] Acclaim

The guitar track was overdubbed by Rick Vito, and that version of the song became a part of popular and advertising culture. Perhaps most notably, the song and slogan like a rock were used in Chevy truck commercials for more than ten years, one of the longest-running advertising campaigns in history. It was also referenced in the movie The Weather Man with Nicolas Cage.
