True enough. Of course, this isn't always the case - the confounding popularity of "Achy Breaky Heart," for instance - but yes, many songs that enter the public consciousness and linger forever after do so because something about them resonates with a great many people, well beyond their original time period.

Allen mentioned in this post is a possible candidate for inclusion in the OP's repertoire. I'm not sure if this was his intent, oblique or not, but there ya go all the same.
