Legacy

The song "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin" has been featured in a number of television series: Scrubs (sung by the cast), Dawson's Creek, The Hills, What About Brian, Cane, The Cleaner, Judging Amy (Season 2, Episode 22 'Hold on Tight' end sequence), Miami Medical, and Brothers & Sisters.

The song was also featured in the film Words & Pictures.

In December 2005, Hay and Heather Mills digitally re-released "My Brilliant Feat" as a charity single as a tribute to the late footballer George Best who died on 25 November 2005. Proceeds went to the Donor Family Network supporting organ donor families and promoting organ and tissue donation.

gollark: Somewhat open, they aren't telling people all the production details I guess. Not sure if anyone was asking for that.
gollark: The Moderna one *is* effectively open but nobody has actually done anything with it.
gollark: As far as I know the IP thing is a red herring. Moderna said they wouldn't enforce patents on their vaccine, but nobody else is manufacturing it, because it's actually quite hard: you need specialized knowledge and equipment which is hard to attain externally.
