Their songs have been covered by artists including Peter Frampton and Rick Springfield and their songwriting and/or vocals have been featured in such films as The Main Event and Ghostbusters. The brothers have had success working on jingles and advertisements for David Lucas and many mainstream consumer products in the United States. In the 2000s, they resumed their touring and album-recording career as a duo, with the new albums being released on the Eden Roc/Pink Records label. They resumed touring and recording as part of the group Barnaby Bye and, in 2012, were inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. The 2012 compilation album from the Late Night Tales series, Late Night Tales: Metronomy by UK band Metronomy included "Seabird".
