Ballroom Blitz" has been used in several movies, most notably the 1992 film Wayne's World, where it was performed by Tia Carrere. Sweet's version of the song was also used in Bordello of Blood (1996) and Daddy Day Care (2003).

The song's opening, in which Brian Connolly asks the other band members in turn if they are ready to play, has been parodied by other artists including The The in "Armageddon Days Are Here (Again)" and the Dead Milkmen in "The Pit."

"Ballroom Blitz" was also sampled by the Beastie Boys in their 1989 single "Hey Ladies."
