I don't think the OP means one hit wonders

No, I'm not. Most of the "general public" I have seen haven't heard any other song by Led Zeppelin, and say "I love Led Zeppelin!!11!"

Disagree with Johnny Cash there. I don't think he belongs on this list, but if anything, it would be either Hurt or I Walk the Line.

Most people have heard the Immigrant Song and/or Black Dog (though they may or may not know them by name)

I am pretty sure they heard of them before, but just don't know the name.
I mean which person hasn't heard the song Rock and Roll, it's in like 20 billion commercials.

The Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch (although nobody actually knows what it's called and it's either "The animal song" or "The Discovery Channel song". Frankly, I'd sh!t myself giggling if I ever heard that song on the discovery channel)
