Can't remember if this topic has been done before or not. But if not, my vote is tied between "Telstar" by the Tornados and "Krautrock" by Faust.

"Wing-Ding" - Joey Dee and the Starliters. Some guy with a deep voice does say "Wing-Ding!" a couple of times ... and there's some grunting ...

"O-Wow" - Panic Buttons

If you're serious about the classic, early-60s style instro, look no further than the definitive erikalbany list:

"Plum Nellie" Small Faces

"Itchy Chicken" Los Straitjackets/Eddie Angel

"Rawhide" Link Wray

"Miserlou" Dick Dale

"Telstar" (Meek original, not Ventures or other versions)

"Walk, Don't Run," "Outer Limits" Ventures

"Malaguena" Trashmen

"Perfidia" Ventures (or Alberto Dominguez original from '39)

Boots Randolph - Yakety Sax

As a music fan, I bet, when you watch a movie, you're very in tune to the audio track and how it is used to affect emotional response. Picture any scene in a recent teen horror flick with this song playing. (Actually it's a film school experiment where they show pigs fucking to this versus slow-motion with a "Hard Copy/Hitchock" violin screeching/low synth tone. Oh my god! Evil pigs!).
