Surely Scan Tester owns this thread, but I wouldn't want to pick a single track - the cumulative effect is magnificent tho. Just listen to I Never Played So Many Posh Dances.

14. Viljo Vesterinen & Dallapé-orkesteri: Säkkijärven Polkka (1939)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZx1zl_sVTI
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A4kkij%C3%A4rven_polkka
"During the Continuation War, the Finnish Army discovered that the retreating Soviets had scattered radio-controlled mines throughout the re-captured city of Viipuri. These mines were set off when a three-note chord was played on the frequency the radio was tuned to, causing three tuning forks (of which each mine had a unique combination) to vibrate at once. Once the Army and Yleisradio experts discovered how the mines worked, a Yleisradio mobile transmitter was brought to Viipuri, and Vesterinen's polka was played on the same frequencies the mines used. They played the song continuously from August 1941 until 2.February 1942, 1 500 times. It had been calculated that it would take at least three months for the batteries of the mines to be empty."
