The song Instant Pleasure was written by pop songwriter Seth Swirsky and was featured in Adam Sandler's highest-grossing film, Big Daddy (1999). In the movie, it was sung by Rufus Wainwright. The song was recorded by Seth Swirsky on his first solo album, Instant Pleasure, in 2004.[1] The album won Best Pop Album at the 2005 L.A. Music Awards.[2] Rockell also recorded the song for her 2002 album, Instant Pleasure.^{[citation needed]}

The song has become a cult hit on many college campuses. The Appalachian State College newspaper asked, on October 17, 2006, whether "college students have become more concerned with instant pleasure than a meaningful relationship," citing Swirsky's song.[3] Drew University's student a cappella group, 36 Madison Avenue, did a version of the song at their Jamfest in 2007.[4] Elon University's a cappella group also did a version of the song[5] as did Colby College's a cappella group, Colby Megalomanics.[6]
