- In "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II", the song is beginning to play in the background at the WQSL radio station, as Andromus comments that humans are unimportant to a truly efficient society.
- Fleetwood Mac's song "Don't Stop" is playing on a radio in the background as Xaviar interrogates a newsboy in "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III".
