Interestingly, it was in the soundtrack of the 1998 Gwyneth Paltrow movie, Sliding Doors, a year before it was finally put in Dido's debut album, No Angel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Angel
British singer Dido's song "Thank You" made its appearance on the soundtrack, becoming a hit three years later. It was a commercial for this film featuring. The song eventually hit no. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

A side note about Dido's song.
When "No Angel" was released, "Thank You" was passed over to be the lead single, and instead "Here With Me" was released, and it went Top 10. The CD's second single flopped, but just at that time, rapper Eminem had released his (then) latest CD, and the lead single was "Stan". "Stan" is about an obsessed fan who is stalking Eminem and becoming unhinged. The lines that open "Thank You" became the chorus for "Stan", with Dido's voice used in the sample, and Dido plays the obsessed fan's girlfriend in the video.
All the attention that "Stan" received (due to the violent ending of the song) spread to "Thank You" and it was released as Dido's third single, and it followed "Here With Me" into the Top 10.
Be aware, the video contains adult language which is not edited out.

I actually knew that at some point, but Mr. Senile (me) forgot! Thanks for mentioning it, Chuck! :D
Please note, I DIDN'T forget but I DIDN'T mention the other lyric/song/movie reference in the same comic by littlestpersimmon:
Wandering free

Disney's The Little Mermaid (1989) - 'Part Of Your World'
Uploaded on Dec 31, 2007

Music
The Little Mermaid (soundtrack)
The Little Mermaid was considered by some as "the film that brought Broadway into cartoons". Alan Menken wrote the Academy Award winning score, and collaborated with Howard Ashman on the songs. One of the film's most prominent songs, "Part of Your World", was nearly cut from the film when it seemingly tested poorly with an audience of school children, who became rowdy during the scene. This caused Jeffrey Katzenberg to feel that the song needed to be cut, an idea that was resisted by Musker, Clements, and Keane. Both Muscker and Clements cited the similar situation of the popular song "Over the Rainbow" nearly being cut from 1939's The Wizard of Oz when appealing to Katzenberg. Keane pushed for the song to remain until the film was in a more finalized state. During a second test screening, the scene, now colorized and further developed, tested well with a separate child audience, and the musical number was kept.
