Line 3:
There are songs so famous (or infamous) that they're universally adored (or reviled) in certain circles, constantly being requested (possibly to the point of annoyance) on the radio, at a concert or in a lounge. Of course, [[Small Reference Pools]] mean these tend to be the same songs across different genres. This is a [[Cyclic Trope]], as time marches on and these songs go into and out of style.
{{examples
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Casablanca]]'': "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'."
** Referenced all the time, usually mangled as "[[Beam Me Up, Scotty|Play it again, Sam]]"
* ''[[Waynes World]]'': The guitar store has a sign that says "No Stairway to Heaven".
** [[Truth in Television]]. Lots of specialist guitar shops actually do have that sign.
