Probably something mundane
like 'Happy birthday to you'. Depends on how you define 'Western'.
seens as i'll be proved wrong otherwise
western = teh interwebz from now on
yeah
gotta be Happy Birthday really.
Wonderwall
I think probably Star Wars too
but this is good anyway:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSKL5E3zSjs
^ That was my initial thought
Roobarb & Custard
the theme tune... Gets me every time
Jaws
or ba ba black sheep
This, no ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfdcS_z02IQ
:D
surely
It's the opening 6 notes to the second movement of Beethovens 9th Symphony
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUq6vr-_1eU
no way!
If it's any Beethoven, it's his 5th.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEhF-7suDsM
Funny video too....
IMHO
The Imperial Death March by John Williams.
Everyone knows what it is inside five seconds.
Compare that to Happy Birthday though...
...
how about
something a bit more Austrian?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DSTqp-bqFQ
damn you!
This is putting me in the mood to listen to loads of classical. But it's 1:05am and i'm exhausted.
everyone knows afroman's
'dick hang lo' by 5 seconds in, at least, they would if i was in charge of the west
dot dot dot dash
ba ba ba berrrmmmm

THE dullest youtube video ever! what a hit with the ladies that guy must be... i'll bet he has lots of pens in his top pocket.
Imagine how much of hit with the ladies the guy who made this is!

Oop
I mean this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsU3B0W3TMs&feature=related

:O
oh no he didnt!
...
Yes, NT is before 98, I researched it online. Most videos have 98 before NT. THIS IS THE ONLY ACCURATE START-UP SOUNDS VIDEO PEOPLE!
is it the XP one
that's by Brian Eno?
maybe...
Moonlight Sonata?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck
I only recognise that from
earthworm jim for the megadrive!
but
you still recognised it!
I loved that game.
jill
valentine also plays this to unlock a door in resident evil 3
No, the original and game cube remake
Rebecca does it when you play as Chris.
Moonlight Sonata
is the one I thought of as soon as I read this thread. If it's not the most recognisable, it's certainly in the top ten.
I have one of the original Velvet's acetates
NOT!
I inherited my Uncle Denny's record collection- they are all scratched up but I love them.
Lots of 50's & 60's Jazz and Pop.
this ^^ post goes in another thread
most recognizable has to be "The Simpson's Theme"
"Gilligan's Island"
"Greensleeves"
first four notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
All You Need is Love (see, you can't even say those words wifout hearing the music)
William Tell Overture
but still "The Simpsons"
It was on QI
It's the generic mobile ringtone
I'll
chuck in the Bond Theme if no-one has already. I can't view yoochoob at work.
ahh
I think that's why I suggested it above.
However, are you sure it was the most *recognisable* piece of music they stated on QI, and not simply the most heard ?
maybe
this?

This?

savage garden
truely madly deeply
greatest song ever
Pachelbel's Canon
Sure, not everyone knows exactly what it is, but they know they know it from somewhere...
The chord sequence has been used countless times over the centuries as it is scientifically proven to be constructed from 100% purest win.
monty norman's james bond theme?
twinkle twinkle little star
/ the alphabet song
