On August 31, 2011, a YouTube video entitled "The Knife Game Song" created by artist and folk singer Rusty Cage was released.
[12] The viral popularity of the song inspired an episode of the game show Unschlagbar [de], in which contestants were required to stab a knife between their fingers as many times as possible in thirty seconds without harming themselves.
Rusty Cage, who traveled from America in order to compete, was crowned the winner and awarded €50.000 in prize money.
