Is there any music that, when you hear it, you are reminded of media it was used in so you associate the music more with that media than anything else? I don't mean music specifically made for that media, just other peoples music that came with it or was used as part of its soundtrack. Like "Johnny B. Goode" and Marty McFly in Back to the Future. A few I can think off besides Back to the Future:
When I hear The Cowsills - "The Rain, The Park and Other Things" I can't help thinking of this scene from Dumb and Dumber that it was used in:
I always think of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 when I hear Swingin' Utters - "Five Lessons Learned" as playing the demo of that game was the first time I heard the song.
Same goes for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and Adolescents - "Amoeba"
Exile - "Kiss You All Over" and the intercom scene from Happy Gilmore that uses it:
The first time I heard Beck - "Beautiful Way" was when a short demo of it came with Windows Media Player 7 so I associate it with that.

For me, it'd be tracker music & European video games. I've explained a fair bit about music in European games here, but basically there is sort of a homogenous cultural origin to both of these things that, to me, kinda make them insperatable.
Dreams are boundless, imaginations are infinite, space is a multi-directional spiral & Akazukin ChaCha is my favorite anime
Unlike a lot of people I don't associate Journey's "Don't Stop Believin" with the Sopranos series finale but rather with the underrated 2010 action movie The Losers.
Also I will forever associate ODB's "Got Your Money" with the 2011 action-comedy 30 Minutes or Less.
