Songs everyone knows the tune of.
I'll start with the most obvious.
Flight of the Bumblebee

Everytime some says 'Strangers on the shore' my mind goes to 'Strangers in the night'. I admit this is weird. But it is true. Exchanging glances.

Haha Tony, I do the exact same thing! (But with a deep Frank Sinatra voice)
Edit: Oh yeah, the topic at hand. If just talking about us clarinettists, is it too obvious to say the Mozart?
The wider audience: Sing, Sing, Sing.

Most of the hundreds of seasonal songs that have been swirling around us for the last month (as I write this).

Some years back (1996, according to their website) MENC put out a (politically correct) list of songs everyone in the U.S. "should" know.
Here's a link to the list: http://www.choralnet.org/view/220691
And here's the list (I'm good for everything except "Over My Head", which I've never heard of. "Out of My Head," maybe!!):
Amazing Grace
America
America the Beautiful
Battle Hymn of the Republic
Blue Skies
De Colores
Danny Boy (Londonderry Air)
Dona Nobis Pacem
Do-Re-Mi
Down by the Riverside
Frere Jacques
Give My Regards to Broadway
God Bless America
God Bless the U.S.A.
Green, Green Grass of Home
Havah Nagilah
He's Got the Whole World In His Hands
Home on the Range
I've Been Working on the Railroad
If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)
Let There Be Peace on Earth
Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing
Michael Row the Boat Ashore
Music Alone Shall Live
My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'
Oh! Susanna
Over My Head
Puff the Magic Dragon
Rock-A-My Soul
Sakura
Shalom Chaverim
She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain

MENC - what does that stand for? It didn't come up on Google.

Fortunately for me, Sinatra never dares to show his bad intonation and private chord progressions in my head. (Crosses Fingers)

MENC = Music Educator's National Conference
Menc.org
Try also
NAfME = National Association for Music Educators
Same site Menc.org
Why wouldn't they just call that NAME?

The list of songs, it hurts. I've been an American for ten years and played in 4th of July parades for five, and I haven't heard all the patriotic songs. I certainly never knew Shalom Chaverim until I married a Jew. Anyway, how could it leave out Red River Valley, Twinkle Black Sheep XYZ, or Jingle Bells?
As far as tunes go, everyone SHOULD know Nola, and probably DOES know Blue Danube, at least the trio of Stars & Stripes Forever . . .
For clarinetists: Clarinet Polka, of course.

come on people- what complete musical ignoramus has never heard, and recognizes, the opening of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik". Even if they don't know from where it comes.
How about Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin, or the "Wedding March" from A Midsummer Night's Dream?
