White Rabbit in every movie set in the late 60s.
shareYeah, it supposedly sets the perfect nostalgic tone for that time.
shareYou beat me to it. I'm a huge Airplane fan but I cringe when I hear White Rabbit out of context of the band playing it.
Too easy to use it as shorthand for everything that's bad for that subculture. But at least the song was very important in helping the band gain financial footing, because w/o the dual hits of Rabbit and Somebody To Love, they would have sunk from view.
The William Tell Overture. (Not a "song" in the true sense, but a musical piece.)
sharePachelbel's Canon in D and/or Carl Orff's Street Song.
