      The fictional character Arnold Rimmer (from the BBC TV science fiction-comedy series Red Dwarf) is a big fan of Hammond organ music. He is particularly fond of an artist by the name of Reggie Wilson (a satirical reference to Reginald Dixon), whose Hammond organ albums include "Lift Music Classics" and "Funking up Wagner". Rimmer has also taught the Skutters to play the Hammond organ and declared every Wednesday night to be "Amateur Hammond Organ Recital Night". None of the other crew of the Red Dwarf spaceship particularly enjoy Rimmer's taste in music.

        Captain Morgan and his Hammond Organ was a recurring Viz strip of the early 1990s featuring a pirate named Captain Morgan. Although he looked like a conventional buccaneer, Captain Morgan was always accompanied by his electronic Hammond organ. He would show up in highly inappropriate situations, attempting to organize singalongs of cheerful ditties which always jeopardized his crew's piratical exploits. He consequently ended most strips being forced to walk the plank. A weakness of this strip's premise was the fact that Captain Morgan always had to remain sitting down (at his organ bench) with his hands occupied at the keyboard, thus limiting his potential activities.

          This Viz strip was terminated after the magazine received complaints from the Hammond electronic organ company and from Seagrams, manufacturers of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, a product which prominently features a flamboyant pirate captain on its packaging. Thus, Viz managed to offend two completely unrelated corporations with the same character. Creator Chris Donald also noted in his book Rude Kids that he had been threatened with legal action from the copyright owners of some of the songs featured, and did not think that having the character sing royalty free hymns or children's songs would be quite as funny for the reader.
