The reprise to [Camelot](http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/camelot/camelotreprise.htm). mostly because of it’s association with the Kennedys.

Don’t let it be forgot  
That once there was a spot  
For one brief shining moment that was known  
As Camelot.

“The Last Resort” by the Eagles pings my soul every time I hear it. The majesty of the music!
