The song "Daddy Wasn't There" is performed by the band early in the 2002 sequel "Goldmember", which Myers' character Austin Powers also sings in the movie.

After their collaboration in Ming Tea, Sweet and Hoffs continued to work together, recording three albums: "Under the Covers, Vol. 1" in 2006, "Under the Covers, Vol. 2" in 2009, and "Under the Covers, Vol. 3" in 2013, which consist of some of the duo's favorite classic rock songs. In this format they have been  known by the pseudonyms Sid and Susie. In a reply to a fan's question about Ming Tea in The Bangles Fan Mail page, Susanna Hoffs stated that "We got the name Ming Tea from a very obscure 1960's Italian movie starring Ursula Andress." The film in question is "The 10th Victim", which features the fictional Ming Tea Company.
