The song is a staple of television and film soundtracks, even being featured as part of the plot of some films, such as when the lead characters sing or arrange their own version of the song. Its chorus has also become a popular football chant, with supporters of various teams inserting their club 's name or a popular player 's name into the beat ( for instance, A.S. Roma fans sing `` Francesco Totti, la la, la la la la ! '' ). The Valli version was also used by NASA as a wake - up song on the STS - 126 space shuttle mission, to celebrate the anniversary of astronaut Christopher Ferguson, one of the mission 's crew members.
