* ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' has this as practically [[BigBad Joseph Seed's]] {{Leitmotif}}. It's made especially eerie in the opening, where Joseph sings it [[DissonantSerenity as the helicopter he and the marshals are in crashes]], and again where he prevents the Deputy from radioing for help after the crash. On the latter occasion, there's even an unseen choir singing it in the background, providing a chilling case of SoundtrackDissonance.

Between the strain in her voice and the distortion in the recording the tune is less familiar than in many renditions.
