Breakfast Topic: What would be your victory music?
When it comes to victory songs, I like to stay with songs that are fast and fun from the get-go. It's your cooling-off period -- you've just poured blood, sweat and tears into a boss fight, and now you get to relax. Sit back, listen to the music, roll on loot, and feel like a badass.
My victory song would have to be something like Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy. I linked the song at the top of the post for anyone not familiar with it. It's what many people call a trailer song in that it is a tune that you hear in movie and game trailers frequently. For instance, you'll recognize Invaders Must Die from such trailers as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Duke Nukem Forever. It has a sordid past.
What is your victory song? Which song gets you rocked and ready for the next boss encounter or some good relaxing time after a night of hard work? Which song plays when the bar his 0%?

"No Sleep till Brooklyn" by the Beastie Boy is always a favorite of mine.

The "Hey" Song. It's like scoring a touchdown in WoW!

I like good music when I run battlegrounds and I find, oddly, that I play better too that way. Prodigy have some great music to BG with and playing a rogue and running a BG with Thorn guildies (all rogue guild) I like "Run with the wolves" by Prodigy.
However...I'm not so hot at pvp (enthusiam > skill) so another one I play is "All my friends are dead" by Turbonegro :D

You may recognize it from the fan-made "Ulduar" movie.

It was the victory tune on the video of the world first Illidan kill, and it's been mine ever since.

Mine would be either Skrillex's Syndicate Theme (it's for a shooter coming out later this year): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxiD5Bd9Lh0
Or... Pendulum's Showdown, only because it's my favourite song ever.
For me, it doesn't have to be all that glorious, it's enough if it explodes at a given moment.

The theme song from the Muppet show

The instrumental version of the The Bird and the Worm -- The Used

Although, I'd rather have the first bit as build up for the fight, like when the enemy boss makes a speech, and then have it play during the fight at the 0:54 mark till the 1:11 mark, from which will be played till the 1:30 mark for victory music.
Sad part? I don't raid.

Mines a weird one, Tiƫsto's Love Comes Again (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYwLLyy-hZQ). I had a history of associating it with epic kills in wow after hearing it as a soundtrack to a Lethon kill video by Nightmare's Asylum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlejDXILgKg) and then randomly having it play during my vanilla guild's 1st kill of Ragnaros before the sons spawning. Its just stuck from there.

TECHNICALLY it's a breakup song, but for me the lyrics to The Eyeliners "Think of Me" lend themselves oddly well to dual interpretation as an ass-kicking song.
*sings* "I hope you thiiink of mee when you're BURNING IN HELL!"

Mine would probably be Invincible by Muse.
It ends
"And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible"
