in the western(ised) world?
I think it's probably this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIqRlubnkjA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgw_RD_1_5I
like 'Happy birthday to you'. Depends on how you define 'Western'.
western = teh interwebz from now on
gotta be Happy Birthday really.
but this is good anyway:

the theme tune... Gets me every time
or ba ba black sheep
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfdcS_z02IQ
It's the opening 6 notes to the second movement of Beethovens 9th Symphony
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUq6vr-_1eU
If it's any Beethoven, it's his 5th.

Funny video too....
The Imperial Death March by John Williams. Everyone knows what it is inside five seconds.
...
something a bit more Austrian?

Yes, NT is before 98, I researched it online. Most videos have 98 before NT. THIS IS THE ONLY ACCURATE START-UP SOUNDS VIDEO PEOPLE!
that's by Brian Eno?
Moonlight Sonata?

earthworm jim for the megadrive!
you still recognised it!
I loved that game.
valentine also plays this to unlock a door in resident evil 3
Rebecca does it when you play as Chris.
is the one I thought of as soon as I read this thread. If it's not the most recognisable, it's certainly in the top ten.
NOT!
I inherited my Uncle Denny's record collection- they are all scratched up but I love them.
Lots of 50's & 60's Jazz and Pop.
most recognizable has to be "The Simpson's Theme"
"Gilligan's Island"
"Greensleeves"
first four notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
All You Need is Love (see, you can't even say those words wifout hearing the music)
William Tell Overture
but still "The Simpsons"
It's the generic mobile ringtone
chuck in the Bond Theme if no-one has already. I can't view yoochoob at work.
I think that's why I suggested it above.
However, are you sure it was the most *recognisable* piece of music they stated on QI, and not simply the most heard ?
this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI
www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkb3r9filcM
truely madly deeply
greatest song ever
Sure, not everyone knows exactly what it is, but they know they know it from somewhere...
The chord sequence has been used countless times over the centuries as it is scientifically proven to be constructed from 100% purest win.

Compare that to Happy Birthday though...
