You’ve probably heard these tunes on TV or at a ball game, but you never knew what they were called. UNTIL NOW. (Inspired by this Reddit thread .)
Gary Glitter, "Rock 'N' Roll Part 2"
Where you've heard it: Every sporting event ever.
Aram Khachaturian, "Sabre Dance"
Where you've heard it: Tons of TV shows, movies and figure skating performances. NPR described it as "one of the catchiest, most familiar — perhaps most maddening — tunes to come out of the 20th century."
Edvard Grieg, "In the Hall of the Mountain King"
Where you've heard it: Every thing ever.
"Entry of the Gladiators"
Where you've heard it: Mary Poppins; Gwen Stefani's "Don't Get It Twisted"; circuses.
