If you would like to avoid admitting that you were wrong, then farewell. But I know this is just an excuse to stop talking, because frankly, you have nothing else to defend yourself with. :P

Just vote for which one YOU think most people know about.

There's no question that right now it would be He's a Pirate. I know literally no one at all who isn't familiar with that piece, but unfortunately there are quite a few people I know who wouldn't recognize the classic Williams pieces like Jaws or Starwars. However, give some time for the whole Pirates craze to die down, and I'm sure that He's a Pirate will fade in to the realm of primarily MV fans, while Williams' music will remain popular for all eternity.

For POTC, I've always assumed that few people could actually hum any of the medlodies, but if you played them for them, they would be able to tell you that it was from POTC.
