Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars: Uptown Funk (2015)

"Uptown Funk" harkens back to the 70s and 80s. It sounds very much like mid-80s Prince or even Funkadelic with a little James Brown thrown in. This might be the song of the year for 2015.

The Batman theme (1966)

Neal Hefti combined surf, 12 bar blues, and camp to create the theme song to 1966's classic Batman series. Four tenors and four sopranos cry "Batman" eleven times. The song helped influence Prince's 1989 "Batdance." Since 1966, it has inspired and resulted in many parodies.
