[edit] References in popular culture
I moved this section over here to the talk page cos it's all trivia, all unreferenced, and most of it fails notability. Let's talk about what can be integrated into the body of the text, what's not relevant, and see what citations can be foud for what. The only part I think is relevant is the 2 songs used in Down By Law. What do you guys think?

- The song "Jockey Full of Bourbon" opens the movie Down By Law. The film closes with the song "Tango 'Til They're Sore". and it has also been used in the opening titles of the movie Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead.
- In Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, a mobster quotes the title track's famous line "For I am a Rain Dog too."
- In Charlie Kaufman's original screenplay for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, there was a short conversation between Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) about the album Rain Dogs during one of the opening scenes on the train. During this conversation Joel says he remembers buying the album and liking it, but he can't remember anything about it. While the dialogue was stripped from the film, during the fast shots of Stan (Mark Ruffalo) showing Joel the items he has brought in that remind him of Clementine a copy of the CD Rain Dogs can be seen for just a moment.
- In the same film, Kate Winslet's character uses "blue ruin" dye on her hair. The reference comes from a lyric in "9th & Hennepin."[citation needed] Also, shortly after the hair dye scene, Joel and Clementine are shown mixing a couple of "blue ruins".
- In the film Knocked Up, Paul Rudd is seen wearing a t-shirt with the album art from Rain Dogs. Also later in the film, when Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen are in a record store the vinyl for "Rain Dogs" is shown.
- In the beginning of one chapter of Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods "Tango Till They're Sore" is quoted.
- Ryan Ross guitarist of Panic! at the Disco has the lyrics "Mad as a hatter, thin as a dime" from Diamonds and Gold tattooed across his wrists.
