The nursery rhyme Ding Dong Bell is from at least 1580, probably earlier
Not sure it counts but Toto’s song Africa has an installation in Africa, powered by solar panels and batteries and it’s played in an endless loop.

The Four Seasons by Antonio VivaldiA few centuries is not timeless, but it is an indication of long term endurance.
Mozart’s Requiem (especially the Miserere part).
Someone already mentioned Hocus Pocus by Focus, so I’m going to go with …
Heart - Crazy On You
For when the world is going to shit, so all that’s left is to get it on and fuck your woes goodbye
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTUhnIY3oRM
Otis Redding - Sittin’ On the Dock of the Bay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C-VscEQugk
Bill Withers - Ain’t No Sunshine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuanwn3v-2I
To be truly timeless you need a few things. A band who knows how to name things. Bad ass drum solos. A couple of electric guitars. An accordion. A flute. Yodeling. Mouth noises. And no lyrics to get in the way.
I give you “Hocus Pocus” by Focus.
Oh damn, I was going to mention this. One of my favourites :-)
Darude - Sandstorm
Let’s be real, there’s only ever gonne be one song that’s never gonna give us up, let us down or desert us.
Sixteen Tons (1946), timeless lyrics.
As relevant today as ever
Tribute - Tenacious D
Sadly not as good as the original.
That is why it’s a tribute.
The Song That Never Ends.
Timeless in more ways than one. 😌
Yes it goes on and on my friend
