I'm surprised to see only one person has mentioned this since it's clearly the hands-down thread winner for me.

Sting - IMDb

yeah, looking at the above, i had to stop and laugh at Stings uncredited contribution to "This Ain't Glee XXX"...... funny thought of him writing songs for pornography... let alone songs by the title given...

Oh god yes. It's actually been quite a while since I've heard it used but during the 80s and early 90s that song was inescapable in movies.

This song has a long history of it's use in media. Unfortunately it has lasted far beyond the 80s, 90s, and 00s. It is making it's rounds in the early part of this decade as well. Bad to the Bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens and Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries are both heavily used.
