“What binds us is what we stand witness to” (reprise)

Let’s try something different for a minute. You are among 10 contestants competing against each other in a game for a prize of $1,000,000. The object of the game is for each of you to choose a single cultural touchstone— a book, movie, song, event, etc. (like for example: Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, or Woodstock) to be revealed to a group of 100 Gen-Y’ers (born 1976-1990), who are then asked to provide more details about your choice (explain the plot, hum the tune, describe it, etc.). The contestant with the most recognized touchstone wins.
What do you choose? Post your choice in the comments section (but don’t look at mine first!).
My choice (highlight the black spoiler box to see):
the theme song from Super Mario Brothers (Level 1-1)
“Stairway to Heaven”
