==In popular culture==
The iconic song has been used and alluded to in many different ways since its inception.
*The 2001 children's book ''Take Me Out of the Bathtub and other Silly Dilly Songs'' by Alan Katz and David Catrow, featuring silly words to well-known tunes, recast the end of the chorus as "I used one, two, three bars of soap; take me out, I'm clean!" in its title number.<ref>Alan Katz and David Catrow, "Take Me Out of the Bathtub and other Silly Dilly Songs",ISBN 0689829035</ref>
*In 2002, as a bonus feature in the video game ''[[MLB Slugfest 2003]]'', [[nu metal]] band [[Dry Kill Logic]] recorded an original song (alongside an accompanying music video) for the game entitled "Riot at the Bat Rack", which is loosely based on "Take Me Out to the Ball Game".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gamervision.com/games/mlb-slugfest-20-03-for-xbox |title=MLB SlugFest 20-03 (Xbox) - Gamervision - How Gamers See the World |access-date=May 4, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711071148/http://gamervision.com/games/mlb-slugfest-20-03-for-xbox |archive-date=July 11, 2011 }}</ref>
*In 2006, [[Jim Burke (illustrator)|Jim Burke]] authored and illustrated a children's book version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".
*In 2008, Andy Strasberg, Bob Thompson and Tim Wiles (from the Baseball Hall of Fame) wrote a comprehensive book on the history of the song, ''Baseball's Greatest Hit: The Story of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game'''. The book, published by Hal Leonard Books, included a CD with 16 different recordings of the song from various points in time, ranging from a 1908 recording by Fred Lambert, to a seventh-inning-stretch recording by [[Harry Caray]].
*Also in 2008, a parody of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" was sung during an episode of the third season of the American game show ''[[Deal or No Deal (American game show)|Deal or No Deal]]'' on [[NBC]]. The contestant of that episode, Garrett Smith, was a baseball aficionado and a proud [[Atlanta Braves]] fan who even hoped to play for the team as a catcher. However, the lyrics were changed to lyrics that showed disdain for Smith, as this was a song that was penned by the Banker who then encouraged the in-studio audience to sing it to him.<ref>{{Citation|title=Deal or No Deal Season 3 Episode 42 MLB Majors & Bargain Hunters| date=January 8, 2022 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8eQSqAIUYY|language=en|access-date=January 15, 2022}}</ref>
