Game music in other places

[CriticalMiss]

So I was just watching the latest episode of The Apprentice when I noticed that some of the music being played in one part was from the Portal 2 soundtrack. Now it isn't against the rules to play music from a game in a TV show, it just seemed a bit odd to hear something that was part of a videogame being played over a reality TV show about business hopefuls. If you want to check it out (and live in the UK) then you can find it at around the 41-42 minute mark:

I don't remember exactly which song it is, but I'm currently listening through the soundtrack to hunt it down and will post the song here when I do.

So, have you noticed any music from a game appearing in something totally unrelated to gaming? Maybe the Song of Storms was played during your local weather report? Share your experiences with us, do.

I was pretty amused when I noticed the Red Alert theme pop up at one point in an episode of Top Gear, but that's the only example I can think of.

During the Beijing Olympics I remember hearing this track [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWXm2ODUGSc] from both Dynasty Warriors 4: Empires and DW5: Empires play before a swimming event.

Also, a couple of years ago when the Western Bulldogs in the AFL almost made it to the finals the main theme [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4_r2FaLf-4] from Medal of Honour: European Assault was played during a montage of their win in the 1954 grand final.

The cinemas near where I live play game music before the adverts and film start. So far I've noticed em play some Mass Effect 3 and Gears of War 3 music.

Once I was calling some customer service (an auto bodyparts company) and was surprised when after the usual "please wait, a representative will be with you in a moment", One-Winged Angel started to play. First time ever that I wished the wait time to be as long as possible, or at least long enough for me to finish the song.

I've heard Kirby Airide music on my local weather channel. And even though it's not a game, I've also heard music from Cowboy Bebop The Movie playing on the same channel.

Also Also, What I would give to DJ music at my mall and just have When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars from Persona 3 on loop forever. And inside the stores, you would have the super repetitive version that just goes "I never felt like~ Duna Dada Da".
