Is there a song that seems to be a theme for your Kerbals...?

[Extemporary]

I'm rather fond of this... somewhat different cover of Final Countdown.

How does one embed YouTube videos?

[Science-Recon]

I would say the main theme from the title menu - I'm sure it's the Kerbal's anthem.

[jchad]

Seeing as today is christmas.....

Crashing through the snow....

In a rocket power sleigh

To the skies they'll go

Screaming all the way.

Bells and alarms will ring

With flames they are so bright

Oh what fun it is to ride(read-crash) and scream

A flying song tonight!

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

Hall of the mountain king. Most definitely

(or Jupiter from 'the planets')

[rollatorwieltje]

Zlad! - Elektronik Supersonik

[Clockwork_werewolf]

Although Rammstein has already been mentioned this song has not.

"Mit der Fahne in der Hand

Mein Land, Mein Land"

translates to

"With the flag in his hands

My land, my land"

Not that I plant a flag in EVERY place I land... I don't always plant one on return to Kerbin.

This is the closest thing I can think of that would apply. A great movie BTW.

-Lego

That really made me laugh XD

"Into sea of eternal glory my spaceship crash" (sic)

Fitting

[BlackBicycle]

"The Final Countdown", of course : )

These guys don't get much play, check em out if yer into industrial, nothing inspired just decent lyrics with driving music. Also check Nobodies Real and Super Villain by these guys.

That is all I have to say considering the large amounts of explosions in recent times.

Last time I posted an entire Ambient album in this thread which was not really a theme song. So I like to draw your attention to one single beautiful composition with accidental very applicable Kerbal lyrics (Originally from the movie "The Snowman, 1982") . From a musicians standpoint (I play classical piano and guitar), this is one of the best arrangements in music I've heard yet. Just marvelous!

If any of you play the guitar and are interested, I am happy to share how to do it. Here is the basic in TABS. (so simple, but yet so elegant): (I like the piano, I love the guitar)

I would have to say my KSP this would be for mine. Just subsitute some of the words for space.

[InterCity]

Probably "Hell march" from C&C: red alert 1

Or maybe the Star Wars theme

[Skyler4856]

She blinded me with science!

[celem]

I generally have a shuffle going on whilst playing KSP and havent really picked a default 'theme'.

On occasion the shuffle gets it just right though. I had an Eve ascent vehicle come to pieces a few days ago, the external command chair was about all that was left and it popped chutes and headed back down to the surface with it's plucky pilot. The thing landed the right way up with the Kerbal still strapped to it, making it look for all the world like a lawnchair. Right at that moment the shuffle brought me The Kinks and Sunny Afternoon. Now I just need to send the poor guy an 'ice cold beer'.

I also made a short video for a mate who was looking to get into KSP where I showed a series of launches, manouevers and landings all highly sped up, I stuck Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg on that one and it was awesome. Older UK gamers may recall this as the Alton Towers themesong
