I'm making a list of classical music everyone has heard, from cartoons to commercials to movies and such to aid me in teaching a music class (If I ever find myself in such a situation), to help get my friends into the scene, etc. I named this list "Music You Thought You Didn't Know" and I started this list about a year ago, and stopped working on it. Now again I've started, and I've decided to post a youtube link under each piece to listen, as well as the date of birth and death of the composer, but I noticed I have one piece by Telemann, Tafelmusic. There are several of Tafelmusic and I wanted to consult all of you to see if you could help me find that one song that's so popular, everyone has heard it. Thank you my friends, I much appreciate it.
Here's the list! I'd really appreciate it if any of you connoisseurs could give me a hand if I have any mistakes, or I'm missing a song or two... Or three, or four, or five so on and so forth. Sorry, it came out a little screwy since you can't see the bold letters of Italic letters. If there's time next to the link, it's for reference of where the most popular portion of the piece is in the video.

)so that's why it came to me. But I did just think of another one that I know I have heard in movies and commercials. Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries'. That one's always in my head too....
