Wild at Heart was written by David Lynch.
 In the novel, Elhanan in fact killed Goliath but David claimed the credit; and Joab, David's cousin and general, took it upon himself to make many of the difficult decisions of war and statecraft when David vacillated or wrote poetry instead
1983 Bob Dylan refers to David in his song "Jokerman" ("Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features")
