The song has been used in the film Safe Men ( 1998 ). In 2011, it was the source of a parody by Chicago artist, Magic 1, entitled `` Cutty Come Back '', which alludes to the Chicago Bears ' woes without quarterback Jay Cutler. The song is also used in the Michael Bay blockbuster Transformers, when the Autobot Bumblebee communicates with its new owner Sam Witwicky through songs on the radio. In this case, after an incident with the girl he is attracted to, Mikaela, gets out of the car and Sam tries to persuade her to `` come back ''. The lyrics of the song are expected to accomplish this desire, as laid out by the filmmakers, though it is unlikely given the context that she would actually come back anyway. Actress / singer Vanessa Hudgens sampled the song in her debut single, `` Come Back To Me '' on her debut album, V in 2006. In The Simpsons episode `` Homer Alone, '' when Homer calls the `` Department of Missing Babies '' after losing Maggie, the hold music is a newly recorded version of the song, by Peter Beckett and J.C.
