Any iconic songs in history? Similar in significance to Katyusha?

Katyusha was, and is, a very important song in Russian culture, which was the anthem for lovers and soldiers and even inspired the name of a rocket-launcher in WW2! But, now I'm curious: can someone tell me the names of some other songs that were the American, British, German, Italian, French, etc... equivalent of Katyusha at some point in history? Because every country has their famous songs; Mexico has a lot, I know because I'm Mexican, but I may not know all of the major songs from there either. So, please tell me the names of any of these major songs in history!
