Song that everyone knows but is also a 10/10 artistic masterpiece?

Pretty sure it's Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World

How are we defining "know" here? I didn't recognize Everybody Wants to Rule the World or Dreams by the title, but after looking them up on YouTube I think I've heard part of them before. Definitely never the full song though

Until I looked them up just now, I'd never heard these before.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a suggestion I can get behind, though.

Not knowing Everybody Wants to Rule the World is pretty shocking to me considering I hear it in like supermarket stores

Yeah, a song that the vast majority of people will have likely heard, not necessarily the entirety of, whether they've consciously listened to it or not. Obviously nothing is going to be 100%.

Well, depending on what you mean by 'everybody', then probably either some classical music or something that's been translated into a bunch of other languages, like Amazing Grace or something.

Wonderwall hasn't been mentioned yet, and I'd say it's up there.

Beethoven's 5th Symphony

This might be my favorite answer so far. I wonder if Pachelbel's Canon would make it, though I bet the majority of people in general wouldn't have a clue what that was until they heard it.

I want to get on my soap box that hallelujah is a brilliant song that nobody actually knows what it is talking about and it drives me crazy.

People actually think a song with the lyrics Remember when I moved in you is talking about Jesus

Lots of weird and bad suggestions in this topic already, but some good ones too.

Dont Stop Believing or Sweet Caroline came to mind for me. You play Sweet Caroline at any random bar and half the bar will sing along with the chorus. Id imagine its only a thing for English speaking countries though.

Also if were talking Queen the correct answer is not Bohemian Rhapsody, its We Will Rock You. Many more people know that song.

Billie Jean is a decent thought. And Let It Be by the Beatles.
