New York's hip hop/electronica group FannyPack covered the song, renaming it "Nu Nu (Yeah Yeah)," in 2005.[4] The Double J & Haze Extended Mix of this version appeared on the soundtrack of the 2006 film "Stick It"[5] and on the soundtrack of the 2009 film "Fired Up!"[6]

This version was used in promos by American television network NBC on its weeknight talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon during 2010.

The 2014 song “Mmm Yeah,” sung by Austin Mahone and featuring Pitbull, heavily samples the lyrics and verses from “Nu Nu” and most notably samples the chorus.
