Because of the popularity of the band Kool and the Gang’s music has been featured in a number of films and television series over the years, IMDb lists nearly 200 times that Kool and the Gang has appeared on a soundtrack.
Most notably, the song “Open Sesame” was used in Saturday Night Fever, the hit “Jungle Boogie” played over the opening credits of Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, and the song “Summer Madness” appears in the original Rocky, though it was left off the official soundtrack.
