Mike Oldfield- Tubular Bells

It is indeed. Coincidentally -- already linked to in this thread earlier today.

Trivia:
"When [the film] 'The Exorcist' was first released, four minutes of Mike Oldfield's music from his 'Tubular Bells' album was lifted without his knowledge. When the film caught on and the music associated with it, the producers has to rush out and make him a deal. In later releases, the song title and artist's names are featured in the end credits."
