Rappers Delight - Sugarhill Gang. The beginning of the end. The first rap song.
I’ll go classical music here and say John Williams opening theme and soundtrack for the Superman movies is the best.

There was also a novelty record in the ‘70s (hit #1 I believe) called”Black Superman”. It was about Mohammad Ali.

I’m going with Genesis, “Land of Confusion”.
