I've just checked my recording of 'Job', and it was the Pavane Of The Sons Of The Morning that was used back in, I think, the early 1970s. If memory serves, a movement from a William Boyce symphony was also used at one time.

I think we also had at least some of the preceding (predominantly violin solo) movement, Elihu's dance of youth and beauty.
Apparently a favourite among Brexiteers is The Animals 'We Gotta Get Out Of This Place'.
UPDATE: The Vaughan Williams 'Pavane' was featured on today's 'Breakfast', apparently as an example of music relating to sirens.
