In the Deep Space Homer episode of The Simpsons, the character Homer Simpson sings the original Golden Grahams (Golden Slippers) theme while the shuttle he is occupying hurtles toward Earth at an unimaginable speed. At the same time, the other occupants of the shuttle (real astronaut Buzz Aldrin, voiced by the second man on the moon himself, and fake astronaut Race Banyon, voiced by cast member Hank Azaria) hum "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". (This is itself a reference to the movie version of Tom Wolfe's book "The Right Stuff", and its John Glenn reentry sequence.)
