Good on you for 24 seriously. I found that cheesy when I was young but then I realised it's ridiculously awesome. It's in a several way tie for my favourite song. I also like 19, 35 and the two AtDI songs especially Cosmonaut.
I think it must have been just seeing it set to slow motion sporting montages? And often it would have been cover versions. I think it was used for some ads too? I dunno.
