Whilst watching this weeks 'Tool Academy' i noticed they used the Dog Days are Over as the backing song for part of the show, this part was a challenging hike. I feel that this helps further prove the meaning of the song to be overcoming difficult situations and times in your life!
Also, only the instrumental aspect of the song was used, not the words or lyrics. This proves just how well known the song is and the strength of the meaning behind it as the meaning can still be understood without the lyrics!
