* [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]]'s video of 'Land of Confusion' uses ''[[Spitting Image]]'' and their puppets, including that of Reagan as a would-be superhero.
* [[Owl City]] uses part of Ronald Reagan's famous speech about the explosion of the Challenger Space Shuttle as an intro to the song "Galaxies", which is a tribute to the twenty-fifth anniversary of the tragedy.
