A medley of Where Is It Going? and Ian Dury's "Spasticus Autisticus" was performed at the 2012 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony.

The version in the ceremony featured a sample of Professor Stephen Hawking's voice saying "transform our perceptions". Hawking joined the band on stage during the performance and wore their trademark torch glasses.
