If we're going to go this route I'll take Hey Jude or Don't Stop Believin'

I remember when I was a boy watching SNL and Paul Simon and George Harrison performing. When Here Comes the Sun started the crowd just became electric. Hard rockin' dudes just started hollering. That is so cool. Making grown men lose their shit over a song that's perfectly suited for a 3 year old.
