Most Awesome Theme Songs

It could be the opening to a childhood cartoon - Transformers
The theme that play's for a character in a film/show - Dexter's Theme (Dexter)
Or something from a video game that plays when a character appears - One-Winged Angel (Final Fantasy VII)

And for even more fun, share a Youtube link to a song that would be a theme that would play if YOU were a character!

You grew up in the 90's and you heard those songs before.
