"ABC" - The Jackson 5
One of the best songs from the Jackson 5. This song was no doubt one of the favorite of little ones and adults alike. It was like both generations could relate to the song.

Lovely Day - Bill Withers
This track has been used in many adverts including the late 1980s Ford Escort one and I think for a supermarket chain Waitrose in the late 2000s. It was sampled by Twista in 2004 on his hit 'Sunshine'.
