Thunderstruck Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 As Cherry said, it must surely be Imagine by John Lennon, or Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.Possibly a Madonna song, or a Michael Jackson song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevdo242 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) Well I once played Kashmir in Music class and everyone said 'Godzilla!' Or maybe thats just one of the most recognisable songs.Probably a Beatles song or Imagine. I have never met a person who didnt know the outro to Hey Jude.

Rumin Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 We Will Rock You.Is this currently famous? Because songs like "Hit Me Baby One More Time" is a lot more famous now than some of the songs you are listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because songs like "Hit Me Baby One More Time" is a lot more famous now than some of the songs you are listing.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I beg to differ. I've seen stadiums arena's, parks and field sing along with We Are The Champions / We Will Rock You at every festival, sporting event or ceremony it get's played. These songs just bust trough any thinkable generation gap. I doube most people over 30 are even able, let alone willing to sing baby one more time along.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I didn't mean it was more popular than every song mentioned. I doubt it's more well known than "Satisfaction", "Thriller", etc.... But I would assume it's more popular/well known than several others. It's all just assumption, though.
