I am thinking of making a youtube video where I find a theme song for all the character classes, just like the alignment one I made (check that out on my youtube channel)

So this is what I have so far
Fighter: American Soldier- Toby Kieth
Cleric: Me and God- Josh Turner
Bard: The Bard's Song- In the Forest
Paladin: Our God is an Awesome God- Michael W. Smith
Rogue: For What it's Worth- Buffalo Springfield

Can you guys help by adding more/making changes

I would prefer if all songs had lyrics

Not really a list since a lot apply to the same classes, but some suggestions:

Bard (charlatan variety): "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" -- The Offspring

Halfling or Gnome Bard: "I'm Little But I'm Loud" -- Little Jimmy Dickens

Bard (skald): "Immigrant Song" -- Led Zeppelin

Bard (or any wanderer): "Highway Chile" -- Jimi Hendrix

Any kind-of-shady chronic screw-up from a poor background, if you want to make people sad (probably a Bard or Rogue):
"Upward Over the Mountain" -- Iron and Wine

Paladin (Oath of Vengeance) or Cleric: "God's Gonna Cut You Down" -- Johnny Cash / Traditional Gospel

Warlock: "The Man Who Sold The World" -- David Bowie

Warlock or Bardlock: "Cross Road Blues" -- Robert Johnson

Warlock, Evil Cleric, Evil Wizard: "The Old Man Down the Road" -- John Fogerty

Warlock, Bardlock, Sorcerer, certain Clerics: "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" -- Jimi Hendrix

Any oraclular or prophetic character: "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" -- Bob Dylan

Barbarian: March of Cambreadth - Heather Alexander (would also work for fighter, but I think the style fits the barbarian better)
Druid: Can you Paint With All The Colors of the Wind - Disney Pochontas
Rogue: Wanted Man - Bob Dylan/Johnny Cash
Sorcerer: Let it Go - Idina Menzel
Wizard: Anything You Can Do - Annie Get Your Gun
Dread Pirate: Oh Better Far To Live and Die - Gilbert & Sullivan, Pirates of Penzance (I know it's a prestige class, but it was to good for me to not include)
Commoner: Holding Out for a Hero - Bonnie Tyler

I will probably use a lot of these, thanks

Although I have no idea why Ol' Red is for ranger, sure it's about a guy manipulating a guard dog, but that's about it

Dread Pirate: Oh Better Far To Live and Die - Gilbert & Sullivan, Pirates of Penzance (I know it's a prestige class, but it was to good for me to not include)

Also from Pirates of Penzance, I nominate "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" for the Factotum.

Yes, perfect! I was trying to think of a class that could use the Major General but couldn't.

I do t know, the chorus about the dog tracking & finding people makes me think ranger

As long as we're talking Gilbert and Sullivan, I think the Rogue deserves "With Catlike Tread".

I think I forgot to mention I'm making them for the d&d 2e, but I might exclude some due to them being similar

for example, I'm going to use wizard, but might take out sorcerer or warlock

Bard - The Bard`s Song by Blind Guardian

Pretty self evident

I'm surprised I'm the first to mention this song! (absolutely google it if you don't know it:smallbiggrin:)

other classes later

Edit: ok, it was actually mentioned in the first post... Good work Filippo, you should really start to learn to read:smallfrown:

Edit 2, just to make this post less futile: Barbarian Red by Ten

Monk: Everyone was Kung Fu Fighting! (Carl Douglas)
Monk - "Kung Fu Fighting" - Carl DouglasI almost literally kicked myself when I realized this didn't pop into my head right away. One that did though is one I used for a presentation a some years ago. Is called The Hero's Journey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMf3WkxOI-E) and although not about a particular class it does hit a very good generic heroic adventure.

Rogue: Smooth Criminal, Michael Jackson (or the Jailhouse Rock if they have a weird but cool sense of humor)
Ranger: Welcome to the Jungle, Guns and Roses
Fighter (and some monks): Best of the Best, either Stubblefield and Hall or Mark (at the time, now known as Marcie) Free (different songs, not just versions).

Bard and/or Paladin (or any other suitably heroic character you wish, I guess): Rousing Song of Heroism (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE8C1WWixgc)

Rangers: I've Been Everywhere (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyjia-uobh0).
Rogues: Wanted Man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26k1-uttqbA).

Paladins (or heroic martial types generally): Big Iron (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZfItlZG97Q).
And the whole party: When The Foeman Bears His Steel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEicdkW295c) - specifically, the `Go Ye Heroes, Go and Die` bit.

To be honest, that sounds more paladin-y?
