One of the few purely-instrumental pop recordings ever to make the charts; Mason Williams’ “Classical Gas” and The Village Stompers’ “Washington Square” come to mind as well.

How about “ Coffee Cold” by Galt MacDermott?
One of several good instrumentals which got airplay after “The Thomas Crown Affair” came out.

I can think of a ton:

Walk, Don't Run - The Ventures
Hawaii Five-O Theme - The Ventures
Soulful Strut - Young-Holt Unlimited
Green Onions - Booker T and the MG's
Pipeline - Chantays
Theme From a Summer Place - Percy Faith
Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet - Henry Mancini
Numerous tunes by Herb Alpert and the TJ Brass

And that's just from the '60's.
