In The Parent Trap (1998), when Hallie and Annie are marching to Isolation Cabin, "Great Escape March" plays. This is a reference to the original film, but it's the wrong song.

In The Parent Trap (1961), the campers whistle "Colonel Bogey March" as they march through camp (seen here). This is a reference to this scene in "The Bridge on the River Kwai".

A similar scene in the remake, The Parent Trap (1998), pays homage to this (seen here--apologies for poor quality, it's all I could find), but instead of "Colonel Bogey March", the song that plays is actually "Great Escape March". The two tunes begin in a similar way, but are not the same song.

So, The Parent Trap (1998) inadvertently references the wrong movie (The Great Escape).
