I'd guess Shakespeare plays are the most likely to work - especially the ones with the character names in the title and most especially the ones which have been made into films. So Romeo and Juliet would work very well because even without any knowledge of plays or Shakespeare and failing to notice the names are in the title someone could remember that one with the Di Caprio bloke in.
Not so much A Midsummers Night Dream though, unless the characters you're looking for are Oberon and Titania and Puck - I have trouble remembering the names of the 'main characters' in that :-)
There's always "I Want to be Your Canary" but that might not be the right kind of average :-)

Do musicals count?
