Yes, Ghost Riders by any one of a hundred different artists. The number one song in the world that works in any style of music, including C&W which was its origin, back in what, 1962?

Top 12 without Ghost Riders in the Sky?Country music isn't my favorite category, but that was the first thing that came to mind.
Here's a version growled out by Johnny Cash.

Some of those kind of cross between country and rock music. It’s a bit like the Marshall Tucker Band’s “Heard It In A Love Song” — it doesn’t seem like it fits in just one genre.

Ghost Riders is where The Doors got Riders on the Storm from.

Although it's a cowboy song, the first hit versions of "Ghost Riders" wwew by pop artists. Much of the melody seems to have been lifted from "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." This was probably the biggest hit version.
