Editing Colonel Bogey March (section)

==Legacy==
At the start of [[World War II]], "Colonel Bogey" became a British institution when a popular song was set to the tune: "[[Hitler Has Only Got One Ball]]" (originally "[[Hermann Göring|Göring]] Has Only Got One Ball" after the [[Luftwaffe]] leader suffered a [[groin]] injury), essentially exalting rudeness.<ref name="Minor">{{cite news |url= https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/minor-british-institutions-colonel-bogey-2080160.html |title= Minor British Institutions: Colonel Bogey |work=The Independent |location= London |date=23 October 2011 |first=Sean |last=O'Grady |access-date=4 December 2012}}</ref>

In 1951, during the first computer conference held in Australia, the "Colonel Bogey March" was the first music played by a computer,<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://csiropedia.csiro.au/csirac-australias-first-computer/|title=CSIRAC – Australia's first computer – CSIROpedia|date=2014-01-24|newspaper=CSIROpedia|language=en-US|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref> by [[CSIRAC]], a computer developed by the [[Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation]].

The march first appeared in film when it was hummed by [[Michael Redgrave]] (playing the [[wikt:cad|cad]] Gilbert in his film debut) in [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s ''[[The Lady Vanishes]]'' in 1938.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Holston |first1=Kim R.|title=The English-speaking Cinema An Illustrated History, 1927-1993 |date=1994 |publisher=McFarland |page=33}}</ref> The 1957 [[David Lean]] epic film ''[[The Bridge on the River Kwai]]'' popularized "[[The River Kwai March]]", a counter-march to Colonel Bogey March. In the 1961 film ''[[The Parent Trap (1961 film)|The Parent Trap]]'', the campers at an all-girls summer camp whistle the "Colonel Bogey March" as they march through camp, mirroring the scene from ''The Bridge on the River Kwai''.<ref>{{cite news |title=Order of songs for Thunder Over Louisville |url=https://eu.courier-journal.com/story/entertainment/events/kentucky-derby/festival/2016/04/21/order-songs-thunder-over-louisville/83299828/ |access-date=16 April 2022 |work=Courier Journal}}</ref>

In episode 28 of ''[[The Benny Hill Show]]'' from 1976, the march was used in the Sale of the Half-Century game show sketch during a [[Name That Tune]]-style question. One of the contestants' answers was "After the Ball" after which the host ([[Benny Hill]]) responded with, "well, you're sort of half-right" referring to the anti-Hitler slur.

In the comedy movie "Caveman"(1981), the song can be heard when a group of cavemen transport a huge egg they found in a nest, on top of a cliff. 

In ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation of the Time Lord]] whistled the tune in ''[[The Face of Evil]]'', ''[[The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]'', ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'' and ''[[Destiny of the Daleks]]''. [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] also whistled it in ''[[The Mind of Evil]]''.

In the 1985 film ''[[The Breakfast Club]]'', all the teenage main characters are whistling the tune during their Saturday detention when Principal Vernon (played by [[Paul Gleason]]) walks into the room.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Coyne |first1=Tom |title=A Course Called Scotland: Searching the Home of Golf for the Secret to Its Game |date=2019 |publisher=Simon and Schuster |page=246}}</ref> It was also used in ''[[Short Circuit (1986 film)|Short Circuit]]'' and ''[[Spaceballs]]''.<ref name="Films"/>

The Jawa-like creatures called Dinks from the 1987 film ''[[Spaceballs]]'' whistled Colonel Bogey in three scenes. 

In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode ''[[Stark Raving Dad]]'', Bart initially writes a verse to a birthday song for Lisa to the tune of "Colonel Bogey March" albeit with jokey lyrics.

In ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' episode "I Know Why the Caged Bird Screams", the fictional ULA Peacocks have a [[fight song]] to the tune of the Colonel Bogey March. 

In 2019, the Colonel Bogey March was used in the TV series ''[[The Man in the High Castle (TV series)|The Man in the High Castle]]'', in episode 8 of season 4. The song was featured in episode 5 of season 6 of ''[[Outlander (TV series)|Outlander]]'', revealing a returning character from season 5. The song also continued through the credits. The Colonel Bogey March was used in the 2024 [[neo-noir]] television series ''[[Monsieur Spade]]'' from [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC]] and [[Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Perhaps coincidentally, the main character, [[Sam Spade]], was previously played by [[Humphrey Bogart]], often called "Bogie".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-reviews/monsieur-spade-review-clive-owen-1235780518/ | title='Monsieur Spade' Review: Clive Owen Gives AMC's France-Set Sam Spade Series a Raison d'Etre | website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] | date=12 January 2024}}</ref>

At the end of the ''[[ChuckleVision]]'' episode ''On the Hoof'', [[Chuckle Brothers|Paul and Barry]] have to put on a marching band for a pompous government minister at an MI7 camp only for it to go awry. The latter brother plays the tune on a kazoo while the former just hits a tambourine.

The march has been used in German commercials for [[Underberg]] [[digestif]] [[Bitters|bitter]] since the 1970s,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.falstaff.at/weinartikel/underberg-eine-portion-wohlbefinden-2698.html|title=Underberg: Eine Portion Wohlbefinden|author=Christoph Schulte|date=2 March 2011|work=Falstaff Magazin – Weine, Restaurants}}</ref> and has become a classic [[jingle]] there.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/rheinberg/underberg-marsch-nun-als-weihnachts-jingle-aid-1.3902095|title=Rheinberg: Underberg-Marsch nun als Weihnachts-Jingle|work=RP Online|date=21 December 2013}}</ref> A parody titled "[[Comet (song)|Comet]]" is a humorous song about the ill effects of consuming [[Comet (cleanser)|the cleaning product of the same name]].<ref>{{cite book | last = MacDonald | first = Ann-Marie | author-link = Ann-Marie MacDonald | title = The Way the Crow Flies | publisher = [[HarperCollins]] | date = 2003 | page = 97 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=KWd5JXiv7HEC | isbn = 0-06-058637-0}}</ref> In [[Indonesia]] this march became the jingle tune for a medicine brand called [[:id:Bodrex|Bodrex]]
