Someone already mentioned Hocus Pocus by Focus, so I’m going to go with …
Heart - Crazy On You
For when the world is going to shit, so all that’s left is to get it on and fuck your woes goodbye

To be truly timeless you need a few things. A band who knows how to name things. Bad ass drum solos. A couple of electric guitars. An accordion. A flute. Yodeling. Mouth noises. And no lyrics to get in the way.
I give you “Hocus Pocus” by Focus.
Oh damn, I was going to mention this. One of my favourites :-)
Darude - Sandstorm
Let’s be real, there’s only ever gonne be one song that’s never gonna give us up, let us down or desert us.
Sixteen Tons (1946), timeless lyrics.
As relevant today as ever

Timeless in more ways than one. 😌
Yes it goes on and on my friend
Off the top of my head, and of course these are completely subjective, I just think of songs that still feel relevant or still reflect a popular attitude today. Feel free to agree or not.
You’re So Vain by Carly Simon
Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels Band
Piano Man by Billy Joel
Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine
Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
Hotel california - the eagles
Time - pink floyd
Or Time - Prince
Tonight, Tonight
“Time, is never time at all, you can never ever leave, without leaving a piece of youth”
But that song has all kinds of times in it. Even the title!
As well as other other units of time such as moments.
That one Adagio by Albinoni. The one in G minor. You know it when you hear it.
