* The Music/WeirdAlYankovic song [[Music/BadHairDay "Gump"]] is a parody of the Music/ThePresidentsOfTheUnitedStatesOfAmerica song "Lump" [[FilkSong rewritten to be about the film.]] As a nod to that, the original band started to end live performances of "Lump" with "And that's all I have to say about that."
* In Music/TheLonelyIsland song "Jack Sparrow", they get annoyed when Music/MichaelBolton keeps interrupting their BoastfulRap about buying girls at the club to sing about ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''. Eventually, he starts to sing about other films, including ''Film/ErinBrockovich'', ''Film/Scarface1983'', and ''Film/ForrestGump'', where Bolton references the "Life is a box of chocolates" quotes.
