"Also Sprach Zarathrustra (Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey) by Deodato (from the album Prelude, 1972)
A funkified version of Richard Strauss. The recording for which Deodato, the Brazilian one-time bossa nova artist, is most famous, this track takes the Strauss piece that Kubrick had used so effectively in 2001 and transforms it into a hip-shakin' boogaloo affair with a beat so catchy even the monolith might want to hit the dance floor.

When my husband and I got married last year, he walked down the aisle to that song. Not the funkified version, mind you. He was "whoooing" all the way. Silly boy.
That may be the most original down-the-aisle number of which I've ever heard!
