As a child I remember some classical music featured in uk tv adverts - like the 'Old Spice' (after shave) adverts with Carl Orff's O Fortuna from Carmina Burana; Largo from New World Symphony by Dvorak. And only later found out that they were established classics.
What others can you come up with?

Have a look at this website:

It's a pretty comprehensive list! I also like tracking down ad music sources :)

Morning for the Peer Gynt Suite has probably been used before.
The Flower duet by Deliebes (I think), British Airways and the Ford Galaxy!
I remember when we sang Carmin Burana at school everyone went 'what's that?' and when we started with O Fortuna (the first and last song) we all went "Oh, Old Spice!

Bethoven's Fifth has been used in commercials over and over again. My memory recalls a group singing the theme in Tu-Tu-Tu TUMS!!
