"Sirius" segues into "Eye in the Sky"; the former is always followed by the latter on airplay, thought not always in live performances – at the World Liberty Concert "Sirius" was played as the introduction to "Breakaway" (Try Anything Once) with Candy Dulfer on saxophone. In recent years, the song has been used on the trailer for Anchorman: The Legend Continues as well as at Euro 2012.
