Mutant Mayhem's Training Montage Song Ties The Film To Scarface & South Park

"Scarface (Push it to the Limit)" has popped up in plenty of other films and series since its release, making it shorthand for montages about a character's rise to power. Most prominently, it can be heard over the couch gag from "Teenage Mutant Milk-caused Hurdles," an episode from the 27th Season of "The Simpsons." The couch gag — a parody of '80s action films — shows Homer as a suave "Miami Vice"-like police detective on the beat. The song also shows up in "American Dad" when Roger the Alien (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) trains to become a long distance runner in the Season 19 episode "The Adventures of Twill Ongenbone and His Boy Jabari." 

Unsurprisingly, the had-driving '80s song has also showed up in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," heard during the episode "Mac's Big Break" in Season 6. "Scarface (Push it to the Limit)" also popped up in the second season of "Stranger Things" while Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) is practicing basketball and was parodied in an episode of "Sonic Boom" with the song "Gotta Go Fast." That's quite a healthy afterlife for a song that was crafted to serve a single film.
