Godzilla vs. Biollante
In 1989 excerpts from "Solo Whale" were used to create the sound effects for the rose form of the monster Biollante in the 1989 Toho film "Godzilla vs. Biollante". Numerous other recordings of Humpback and other whales have attempted to capitalize on its popularity. In 2010 the album was inducted into the National Recording Registry as one of the significant recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States."
