Breakfast Topic: What is your class theme song?

by Robin Torres Feb 14th 2012 at 8:00AM

In a past edition of The Queue, evoxpisces asked,

If each class had its own theme song, what would they be? Or at least what genres would each represent them?

Some commenters answered with their opinions, but I didn't read them because I wanted to form my own list without anyone's influence.

Druid Boadicea by Enya It is woodsy with a hint of danger.
Shaman Down to Earth by Peter Gabriel But I was really tempted by Daniel Radcliffe singing Tom Lehrer's Elements.
Death knight Du Hast by Rammstein Too obvious?
Mage Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire Mages are quite a bit flashy. In fact, I think the next tier set should be based on the costumes from that video.
Warlock Cold by The Cure I guess The Cure was a pretty obvious choice as well. Fire by Arthur Brown was a runner up.
Rogue Hide and Seek by Namie Amuro, but only because of the great video Craft of War: Blind, where a rogue really shines.
Warrior Birth, School, Work, Death by The Godfathers The perfect workhorse song -- though a bit fatalistic.
Hunter Hunter by Dido I just went literal with this one.
Paladin Gold by Spandau Ballet because pallies are so shiny. Blood elf paladins get their very own song and video, above.
Priest Violet by Hole I can't believe I left priests off the list at first! My apologies. Please still heal me.

What do you think of my list? What theme song or genre would you choose for your class or all classes?

All classes have an appropriately titled song on the Mastodon album, The Hunter.

01. Black Tongue - Shaman
03. Blasteroid -Mage
04. Stargasm - alt. for any caster class
05. Octopus Has No Friends - Rogue
06. All The Heavy Lifting - Warrior
07. The Hunter - Hunter
08. Dry Bone Valley - DK
10. Creature Lives - Warlock
11. Spectrelight - Paladin
12. Bedazzled Fingernails - Priest
13. The Sparrow - Druid

To be perfectly literal, the Warrior's themesong has to be Blood and Thunder by Mastodon.

I like to believe that the talent was named for the song.

You are not playing a Paladin right if you don't have this song playing in the background:

Also for rogues,

Back Stabbers by the O'Jays

For Paladins, it should be "Sophia" by The Cruxshadows. Consider the following lyrics:

Through these doubts and through your confusion
Know that you are chosen to this fight
Look to find a soul filled with compassion
Look to see a living source of Light

The rest of the song is just as perfect for paladins!

While not a song for the overall feel of the class, my DK's personal theme song is "I'm Alive" by Becca (anime fans out there may recognize it as one of the ending songs of "Black Butler"). I don't play her as angsty and tortured -- she's forgiven herself of the bad things she was forced to do, and because of this she can laugh, have fun, and be the clumsy sweetheart she was in life.

It's the chorus that really drew me in.

"I'm alive, I'm alive, oh yeah,
Between the good and bad's where you'll find me,
Reaching for heaven!
I will fight, and I'll sleep when I die,
I live my life, I'm alive!"

Paladin: The Crüxshadows- Citadel
Death Knight: The Crüxshadows- Deception
Rogue: Beborn Beton- Hemoglobin
Warrior: Apoptygma Berzerk- Nonstop Violence

I havne't played other classes enough to form much of an opinion.

For Dks it and always be "Postmortem" or "Raining Blood" by Slayer. Think about it

The true warrior song.

DizzyG Feb 14th 2012 10:46PM

Definitely Jerry Lee Lewis for fire mages. Also contending are Prodigy's "Firestarter" and Storm's "Time to Burn".

The Duck Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtN1YnoL46Q

That is my Warrior's theme song. Always waddling in Arena.

I don't play fluffy Belf Pallies and the game won't allow you (yet) to play fluffy Gnome Paladins.

So for Paladins Id say Anvil's Juggernaut of Justice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEZICHQ-4LM fits the bill better.

Their classic Metal on Metal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhpVtNw7hd4 fits Death Knights nicely, too.

Holy Ghost by Rick Ross -

Sarabande Feb 15th 2012 11:15AM

Just for the title, "Fire and Ice" by Pat Benatar. But only because she doesn't have a song called "Fire and Ice and Arcane." :P

But for the mood, I've been looking for a song that references magic or fire and frost elements, is cerebral, playful and either mysterious or explosive for mages and haven't come up with one yet. I'll have to go look some more :)

Varda Feb 15th 2012 9:42PM
