==In popular culture==
*In the popular 1970s [[sitcom]] ''[[Happy Days]]'', set in the 1950s, lead character Richie Cunningham, played by [[Ron Howard]], would often sing "I found my thrill..." (the first line of Domino's 1950s version of "Blueberry Hill") in reference to pretty girls he dated or wanted to date.

*It is one of the songs that the [[time travel]]ing James Cole enjoys in the film, ''[[Twelve Monkeys]]'', and the song is later sung by the scientists upon his return to the future.

*The song is purportedly named after a "make-out" spot in [[Taos, New Mexico|Taos]], New Mexico.

*Joe Edwards' restaurant on the Delmar Loop in St. Louis, Missouri, where Chuck Berry frequently plays, is named after the song.

*[[The Far Side]], a comic written by [[Gary Larson]], features a comic parodying the lyrics of this song. A man is talking in a phone booth on top of a hill named "Blueberry Hill." He says into the phone "Norm? This is Mitch. ... You were right--I found my drill." The parody is of the line "found my thrill on Blueberry Hill."

*[[Prime Minister of Russia]] [[Vladimir Putin]] made a cover performance of the song on December 10, 2010 before an audience of international film and television celebrities, in support of a charity for ill children. Videos of his performance quickly went [[Viral video|viral]] worldwide.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1337872/Sing-Vlad-Putin-Blueberry-Hill-crooner-Kremlin.html?ito=feeds-newsxml | location=London | work=Daily Mail | title=Sing-along-a-Vlad: now Putin is Blueberry Hill crooner of the Kremlin | date=December 12, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=This Exists: Vladimir Putin Serenades Audience With Rendition Of ‘Blueberry Hill’ |last=Martel |first=Frances |publisher=Mediaite |date=11 December 2010 |url=http://www.mediaite.com/tv/this-exists-vladimir-putin-condemns-audience-to-listen-to-his-singing-piano-playing/ |accessdate=7 October 2011}}</ref>
