Cool selection

LOL! Very 80s which is setting appropriate. Kudos.

Cool selection

Yep and yep but I don't get all your choices.

For the record, I always pictured the "Clan Unity Anthem" was the Star Leauge Anthem, which in my headcannon is "Oh Canada"

Which ones?

It would be easier if you could explain them.

Working on it.

Blood Spirit:  Here I Go Again by Whitesnake.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oohFGOmcxuo&feature=player_detailpage

Listen to the lyrics.  Don't they just scream 'Blood Spirit' to you?

I don't know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again, here I go again

[The Spirits tried to teach the Clans cooperation and fellowship as brothers in arms.  Until the other Clans derided and rejected them, so now they "ain't wasting no more time".]

Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams

[But they still keep looking, hoping, "dreaming", alone in the dark.]

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time

[Even though, they know the other Clans won't listen.  They hope, they dream, but in the end, "Here I go again on my own, goin' down the only road I've ever known . . . I ain't wasting no more time."  Why?  Because if the others won't listen, then the Spirits will do it themselves.]

Burrock:  Nothing Else Matters by Metallica.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7bIbVlIqEc&feature=player_detailpage

With the Burrocks, it is once again the lyrics.  To the Burrocks, it really IS "nothing else matters"; not Kerensky's laws, not the good opinions of other Clans . . . only the Burrocks. 

Cloud Cobra:  Highway to the Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=QLUbodrA0NE

Does this one really need an explanation?  Watch Top Gun.  It fits.

I'll do the rest as I have time.

Ghost Bear:  Kashmir by Led Zeppelin.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvmuDH8cgG0&feature=player_detailpage

For this one, it isn't the lyrics (although they are good and fit), but the freakin' MUSIC.  That first riff that keeps on repeating over and over and over again as the song plays, it feels like something playing on the loud-speakers as Kodiaks and Executioners and Mad Dogs and Grizzlys move forward into the teeth of the enemy.  It says "I'M HERE . . . TRY TO STOP ME!"  At least to me.

Goliath Scorpions:  Rock You Like a Hurricane by The Scorpions.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw_Lf-JhdSU&feature=player_detailpage

First of all, this song is by the group The Scorpions.  Second, look at the lyrics. 

It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking and pretty loud
My cat is purring, it scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?

The bitch is hungry, she needs to tell
So give her inches and feed her well
More days to come, new places to go
I've got to leave, it's time for a show

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning, it starts to shout
Desire is coming, it breaks out loud
Lust is in cages till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it with someone I choose

The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (Are you ready, baby?)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (Come on, come on, baby)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

Rock you like a hurricane

It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking and pretty loud
My cat is purring, it scratched my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?

The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (Are you ready, baby?)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

Really, this is so Goliath Scorpion on so many levels.  The Scorpions are hedonistic . . . and this song oozes that trait.  And yet, look at the fourth stanza.

The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting

"The Wolf is hungry, he runs the show."  Oh man, oh, MAN.  And what Clan do the Scorpions feel they have an honor-debt to?  What Clan do they FOLLOW?  Clan Wolf.  "Love at first sting" indeed.

And besides, this song just ROCKS.

Hell's Horses:  Ghost Riders in the Sky by Johnny Cash.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQIg3lRN2Xw&feature=player_detailpage

Very thematic for Clan Hell's Horses.  The imagery and symbolism of the words (and the country beat with the horns and strings) just gives me chills.  It is a perfect match for this Clan.

Ice Hellion:  I Can't Drive 55 by Sammy Hagar.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8xOVT3W3Xo&feature=player_detailpage

Just listen to the song, Ice, and tell me that Sammy Hagar wasn't an Ice Hellion at heart. 

Have the rest tomorrow.

I had an idea for Clan Blood Spirit but I lost it. 

I found it
