I have never heard of about half of these tunes. Does no-one read thread instructions at all (ha, daft question)? Obscurist fuckers.

I assumed everyone knew "Popcorn" and that it was just one of those tunes. Then again I guess the last time I heard it outside of my bedroom was when I was very young, so it's probably not so well known as that.

Oooh! ooh!

The theme from James Bond and the music they have at the beginning of the racing cars on tv.
