the economy is so bad that..." After the punchline, the Tonight Show Band played a fast melody of "Hooray for Hollywood". In the Disney Channel original movie Phantom of The Megaplex Mickey Rooney’s character “Movie Mason” sings the tail end of the song in front of the theatre for the premiere of the movie. In The Simpsons episode "Mayored to the Mob", the cast members of a production of Guys and Dolls sing a song with the musical's title to the tune of "Hooray for Hollywood", which, as the show's star Mark Hamill points out, isn't actually one of that show's musical numbers. A cha-cha instrumental version of the song was used as bumper music for David Feeney's short-lived "Hollywood Minute" segment on the popular podcast Daves of Thunder. A simplified score of the melody decorates the banisters in the Hollywood/Vine Red Line Station in Los Angeles leading down to the platform. Rock band Hollywood Undead sample the Doris Day version of this song in their live pre-set introduction. The song is used in the opening of Warren Beatty's film Rules Don't Apply (2016). The song is used in Ray Donovan Episodes 01 - Season 1 "The Bag or the Bat" (2013) with the Doris Day version. The song is performed in the 1978 film Sextette starring 87-year-old Mae West, which was her final film. See also "There's No Business Like Show Business" "That's Entertainment!"
