"In the Hall of the Mountain King"
Composer (year): Grieg (1875)

Notable uses: The 'Moutain King' tune never got old, welcomed by posterity through its unforgettable use as a recurring motif in M (1931) as the whistle announcing the presence of Hans Beckhert, it also inspired the 80's cult Inspector Gadget (1983), and was an unexpected but memorable accompaniment of The Social Network (2010)'s rowing scene.
