Here is Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" which I heard out of a restaurant speaker playing onto the street:

Jackie DeShannon's "What the World Needs Now Is Love" is a song one of the couples at Dancing With the Stars danced the waltz to (it worked):
Here is an interesting account of "What the World Needs Now Is Love" where a Los Angeles disk jockey remixed it as a social commentary "What the World Needs Now is Love/Abraham, Martin And John" :
In addition to the DeShannon hit recording and the numerous cover versions, "What the World Needs Now is Love" served as the basis for a distinctive 1971 remix."What the World Needs Now Is Love" was written by Burt F. Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics). Hal's brother, Mack David, won eight Academy Awards for his songs in various movies.
Disc jockey Tom Clay was working at radio station KGBS in Los Angeles, California, when he created the single "What the World Needs Now is Love/Abraham, Martin and John", a social commentary that became a surprise hit record that summer.
The song begins with a man asking a young boy to define such words as bigotry, segregation and hatred (to which the boy says he doesn't know); he says that prejudice is "when someone's sick". Following that is a soundbite of a drill sergeant leading a platoon into training, along with gunfire sound effects, after which are snippets of the two songs – both as recorded by The Blackberries, a session recording group. Interspersed are excerpts of speeches by John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, the eulogy after Robert's assassination by Ted Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and soundbites of news coverage of each one's assassination. The ending of the song is a reprise of the introduction.
"What the World Needs Now is Love/Abraham, Martin and John" rose to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1971, and was Clay's only Top 40 hit.
