Songs you always associate with a Movie or TV scene
Letting my playlist run on shuffle, I just heard the classic 1950s chorale version of Little Drummer Boy, and I immediately thought of the final funeral scene from the West Wing episode "In Excelsis Deo."
I will always think of that scene whenever I hear this, and imagine the rifle shots from the 21-gun salute punctuating the drumbeats.
I probably have not seen that episode since the West Wing was on Bravo, but it has burned into my memory.

Don't think I even need to specify the movie, but it is the ending of The Breakfast Club of course.

(Not a "song" per se).
The "guitar solo" in Cheech and Chong's Next Movie. It was played by Steve Lukather of the band Toto.

Re: Songs you always associate with a Movie or TV scene
Kinda meaningless if you select a song that was specifically written for the movie, isn't it? It's like saying I associate "You're the One That I Want" with Grease, or "America" with West Side Story.
That said, back in college, everytime I slid my tray on that rail in the cafeteria, I'd hum to myself, "Don't know much about history...."

Stranger Things pretty much owns "Running Up That Hill" now. 
And if I hear "Brand New Key" I immediately think of Heather Graham pulling off her dress to reveal her naked body so Eddie can aim it at her tits. (And, nice as they were, the best stuff was a little further south if you catch my drift.)
And, also from that same movie, "The Touch," which was actually a signature song from one movie that Boogie Nights stole and made it own.
Also surprised no one has mentioned this one yet...
