Not that i can recall.
Bits of songs may have had 2/4 bars thrown in somewhere,but i cant recall any actually recorded in 2/4..........It's not a commonly used tempo for most songs...........and it's (usually) only ever thrown into a 4/4 song here and there, just for effect really.

Agreed. In fact I don't know of a single song that has ever been written in 2/4. It is utterly pointless to do so in the rock and pop idiom, since 4/4 is the accepted common time signature. The only common time signature where there are 2 beats in the bar would be 6/8, in which case you would find many songs, including those by Elvis, with this signature. 2/4 would only be used, as Squirrel says, to break up a song already in 4/4 or some other common time signature.
