Class Theme Songs

[Nyaricus]

So, there was a thread like this before The Crash (checking old bookmarks to, alas, find them gone) and I figured I'd restart this fun little ditty of a thread. So, with that in mind...

Come in and present your list of D&D classes with corresponding theme song, for example here's mine

Bard - Spieluhr (Music Box) feat Khira Li by Rammstein
Barbarian - I Want to F***ing Break it by Static X
Cleric - The Gods Made Heavy Metal by Manowar
Druid - Black Lightning by The Crown
Fighter - Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rythym of the Wardrums by A Perfect Circle
Paladin - Now You've Got Something to Die For by Lamb of God
Monk - Ten Thousand Fists by Disturbed
Ranger - Feuer Frei! (Fire at Will!) by Rammstein
Rogue - Killers are Quiet by Slipknot
Sorcerer - Ka-boom Ka-boom by Marilyn Manson
Wizard - Rusted Embrace by Killswitch Engage

Honurable, non-core mentionables:
Archivist - Blood of the Scribe by Lamb of God
Dread Necromancer - Back from the Grave by The Crown
Warlock - Hellion by Children of Bodom

Necromancer/Dread Necromancer - Move your dead bones

Reanimate your feet!

I dunno about Spieluhr for the bard. It's not about a musicbox, it's about a guy buried alive with a musicbox (if I remember correctly, I'll have to check). However, I The Gods Made Heavy Metal would be great for the bard, on that note Battle Hymns would be better. However, I find Manowar to very silly sometimes. Not that I don't like, just silly sometimes.

Also, I find it hard to come up with themes for classes. For a character it is much easier.

Bard: Manowar - Battle Hymns
Barbarian: Slayer - War Ensemble (I was spilt betwixt the barbarian for this song)
Cleric: Still Remains - I Can Revive Him With My Own Two Hands
Druid: Sinai Beach - Man or Animal?
Fighter: Megadeth - Killing Is My Business
Paladin: Dragonforce - Through Fire and the Flames (pretty a great anthem for any party though)
Monk: All That Remains - For Salvation
Ranger: Monty Python - The Lumberjack Song (why not?)
Rogue: Beloved - Watching the Lines Blur
Sorcerer: Kamelot - The Spell
Wizard: Demilich - And You'll Remain... (In Pieces In Nothingness)

Blackguard: The Black Dahlia Murder - Of Darkness Spawned (Or possibly The Black Incarnation, Thy Horror Cosmic (Cthulu worshipping blackguard = autowin), Hymn for the Wretched or pretty much anything by these guys are good choices as well)

My class's Theme song, as decreed by the school Principal, was "Ebony and Ivory", McCartney/Jackson. But everyone knew that our real theme song was the "Theme to Foxy Brown", by Willie Hutch.

Go Spartans!

The bard was a really hard one to find a song for, so that was the most appropriately named, even if for the life of me I can't remember the (translated) lyrics either...

I only have their 'Louder than Hell' album, so I'll have to take your word for it

Manowar is a bit of a silly band though, so nothign surprizing there...

Here are so definitive Theme Songs. Maybe not for every character, but there are some players for which these songs fit way too appropriatly:

Bard – Squeezebox by The Who (Umm, that song is about a Musical Instrument, Right?)

Barbarian – My Heart will Go On (Titanic Theme) by Celine Dion (Really, is there a better song to drive you into a murderous, death dealing frenzy?)

Cleric – Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult (Cause with a High Level cleric, Raise dead is only a Finger Motion Away, wait, that's Paul Simon)

Druid – Purple Haze by Jimmy Hendrix (What other use is there for Craft Herbalism?)

Fighter – Ballroom Blitz by Blue Oyster Cult (Ya take his low Cha, Int, 2 Skill Point butt to a fancy ball in gratitude for saving the kingdom, and inevitably he somehow starts a brawl).

Paladin – Goody Goody by Adam Ant (What else could a Paladin be?)

Monk – Kung-Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas (Pac-Man Fever, Disco, Platforms, Shag Carpet, why do my parents keep telling me drugs weren't as prevalent then? The evidence is overwhelming. For exhibit A I give you my dad & his powder blue leisure suit).

Ranger – Country Boy can Survive by Bocephus (that's Hank Jr. to you city folk).

Rogue – Three Steps by Lynyrd Skynyrd (Running away is what Rogues' do best).

Sorcerer – 1812 Overture (If the song requires an Artillery Section, then you've got a match).

Wizard – Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis (Ego Matches, Attitude Matches, Preference in relationships may not).

Honorable Mention

Assassin- Folsom City Blues by Johnny Cash (“Killed a man to watch him die”, that's pretty much an Assassin right there. Oh. Wait, that may describe 98% of all adventurers).

Pale Master- Sweet Transvestite by Dr. Frank-N-Furter (if I have to explain it, you are not a true gamer).

Monk – "Houses of the Holy"

Ranger – "Ramble On" or "Over the Hills and Far Away" or "Travelling Riverside Blues"

Rogue – "Black Dog" or "Gallows Pole" or "Night Flight"

Sorcerer – "Dazed and Confused" (okay, this one's a stretch)

They can be. Most of what I've heard from them makes me chuckle at least. My history loves Manowar though, along with a few other bands a friend and I introduced him to.

I prefer Kamelot and Symphony X for my power metal fixes.

A small human only pretends to die
he wanted to be completely alone
the small heart stood still for hours
so they decided it was dead
it is being buried in wet sand
with a music box in its hand

The first snow covers the grave
it woke the child very softly
in a cold winter night
the small heart is awakened

As the frost flew into the child
it wound up the music box
a melody in the wind
and the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider
and no angel climbs down
my heart does not beat anymore
only the rain cries on the grave
up and down, rider
a melody in the wind
my heart does not beat anymore
and the child sings from the ground

The cold moon, in full magnificence
it hears the cries in the night
and no angel climbs down
only the rain cries on the grave

Between hard oak boards
it will play with the music box
a melody in the wind
and the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider
and no angel climbs down
my heart does not beat anymore
only the rain cries on the grave
up and down, rider
a melody in the wind
my heart does not beat anymore
and the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider
my heart does not beat anymore

On Totensonntag they heard
this melody from the graveyard
then they unearthed it
they saved the small heart in the child

Up and down, rider
a melody in the wind
my heart does not beat anymore
and the child sings on the ground
up and down, rider
and no angel climbs down
my heart does not beat anymore
only the rain cries on the grave

Make of it what you want. I think it's about a recluse (the "child") who fakes his death to get away from the world, but then actually dies in the graveyard after he's buried there with a music box in his hand.

When Till isn't trying to be highly preverse (which is probably 90% of the time), his songs are extremely good. Alter Mann and Klavier are also good examples of this.

I can't believe that you didn't choose "Immigrant Song" for the Barbarian.
