version of the theme at the show's ending. The Spanish group Pata Negra featured a cover of the song in their album Rock Gitano. The band The Infamous Stringdusters have a cover of this song on their EP Undercover, Vol. 2. In media and popular culture The tune is also well known as the opening theme to the original BBC TV show Top Gear and for the 2002 format of the series, albeit a modernised cover version. In one episode, James May recreated the tune using nothing but exhaust notes from several cars, while in another episode the tune in its full version was heard to be played over the radio when the three presenters tested in America (Series 12, Episode 2). At the end of the last episode of the 18th series of the show, Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash played his version of the tune. "Jessica" is also used for most international versions of Top Gear, including the US version, which used it as its theme only during the first season. The tune was also featured in the movies Field of Dreams, Did You Hear About the Morgans?, Fear and Lassie, and was used as the opening theme tune for the Dr. Dean Edell radio show. It was also used throughout the 2000s on The Weather Channel as background music for the Local on the 8s.
