British singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s 2001 song Murder On The Dancefloor has shot back up on the charts after 22 years. And it is thanks to a full-frontal male nude scene in the black comedy Saltburn (2023).

In the Golden Globe-nominated film, Irish actor Barry Keoghan is seen dancing naked to Ellis-Bextor’s hit single in the finale.
