The best music sequence I've ever seen was used in a class project back when I was in high school. We had the option of using any sort of media, and one of my classmates decided to do a documentary on the Holocaust. He did a good job.

As the film approached the end, it cut to old B&W footage from the camps as Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" faded in. The song unfolded as just the most awful scenes played out and reached a climax. That juxtaposition and the dripping sarcasm of it all just laid so bare mankind's two extremes. Fucking powerful.
