8“Abraham Martin and John” by Dion on the album, The Essential Dion. 8 Many people have made YouTube tributes using this classic folk song that focuses on three key men in US History.

8"Bugler's Dream and Olympic Fanfare" by John WIlliams and Leo Arnaud on the album Summon the Heroes. 8 This fanfare, written by the same man who composed themes for Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and more, was used first in the 1984 Olympics, but continues to inspire during Olympic broadcasts.

8“Land of Confusion ” by Disturbed from the album Ten Thousand Fists. 8 This song is a cover of the same song by the band Genesis. Pay close attention to these lyrics. Viewing the video for both versions is strongly encouraged, though the Disturbed version has violent content.

8“Spiderman” by the Ramones on the album, The Ramones – Greatest Hits Live. 8 This is a punk version of the classic superhero theme song. The video is fun too.
