Alternate Cover of Take a Walk on the Wild Side

I've been trying to find a particular version of Lou Reed's "Take a Walk on the Wild Side". I believe it was from a movie and may have been sung by a drunk person doing karaoke.
Instead of the normal smooth groove of Lou, this version featured a drunkish and loud "Heeeeey Babe..........Wild Side!" chorus. I want to say it was in one of the Major League movies but I don't think it really was. But the movie may have included Charlie Sheen.
Can anyone help me out?

My first thought was also the Salton Sea but the version was very subdued. I'm a huge Reed and Velvet fan so I'm curious now!

Scottish punk band The Skids fits that bill. They used to do it live all the time but I don't know if it was ever part of a soundtrack. There's a sound clip at amazon. As for a Charlie Sheen connection, maybe the song was in Rated X? (Major League featured X's version of Wild Thing, no WotWS covers)
