Actually, it was not the finale. It was "The Clip" show.

First time I've seen this. I'd venture to guess that more people will associate that song to a late 90s high school montage that was produced for their graduation.
I always remember Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper's first kiss when I hear "When a Man Loves a Woman," but I understand that more people have other memories than that.
Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" came out a year before it became popular in Batman Forever. Similar story to Billy Vera that someone mentioned earlier.

90% of the examples given are songs that were popular before they were featured in movies and shows. They weren't "made popular" by the show, even if their popularity was renewed by the movie or show.

When I hear "freebird" by Skynyrd, I think of Jenny's whore arse high on coke standing on the balcony about to jump.
When I hear "fortunate son" by CCR, I think of Forrest Gump and Bubba arriving in Vietnam.
When I hear "Tuesday's gone" by Skynyrd, I think of the end of Happy Gilmore.
When I hear "Renegade" by Styx, I think of Billy Madison drunk.
When I hear "Endless Love", I think of the guy from Happy Gilmore singing it on the Zamboni after hot arse Julie Bowen luckily makes a hockey shot.
When I hear "America the Beautiful" by Ray Charles, I think of The Sandlot and the 4th of July. This song sung by Ray Charles, to those kids playing baseball in that great movie, reminds me of being a kid and it's probably my favorite song to listen to as far as nostalgia goes. It makes me forget the stupidness in this world and whatever other stresses I may have at that time, and just enjoy life worry free while I listen to it, drinking a beer on my swing in my backyard watching my kids play in the yard.

I think you should read the topic again.
"What songs were made popular or brought back to popularity by a TV Show or Movie. Or atlas what connections do you make when you hear these songs. "

I get what you are going for, but a topic like this is highly subjective and personal. I watched Seinfeld before it really blew up, but i do not associate "Good Riddance" by Green Day with the show, i was familiar with the song before hand. Ditto with Don't Stop Believing and the Sopranos. I realize it got a bump in sales, but I'm old enough to remember when the song was popular.
For me it's songs i first heard because of a movie that i really like that i associate with that movie, for example Jungle Boogie by Kool and the Gang makes me think of Pulp Fiction. Monkey Man by the Stones and ATlantis by Donovan make me think of Goodfellas.

Dueling Banjos. Deliverance

I got the sense of the thread topic was a song like Bohemian Rhapsody. It was a hit when Queen originally released it, and it went to #1 again following the release of Wayne's World in 92. People my age can't hear that song without thinking about Wayne's World. To a lesser degree that same movie made Jimi Hendrix's Foxy Lady popular again.
One not mentioned, though it really didn't make the song popular again, but I always think of the movie when I hear it, is Supertramp's Goodbye Stranger in Magnolia.

How about Layla by Derek and The Dominos. Every time I hear that song, I see a pink cadillac and bodies hanging in freezers.

I agree to that. If I hear that song, I think of that show.

Yes, Batman won Seal four grammys.
"The song was released as a single in the UK, where it went to #20 in July 1994. In America, the song didn't get noticed until it played under the end credits of the movie Batman Forever and was included on the soundtrack. The film was released in May 1995, nearly a year after Seal's album was issued. The movie appearance sparked demand for the song in the US; it was issued as a single there in June 1995 and climbed to #1 in August."
