Hey hey hey, don't forget the rooster!
Infact, most of the songs on the Dirt Album of AiC is good for Epic

Rooster

"They've come to kill the rooster, yeah, he ain't gonna die!"

A song about Nam, how can you lose?

Also

Sickman

"Sickman, sickman, sickman"

Anybody with the Redneck Ramage CD has some good songs for IG vs Orks

"You can't kill me, I will not die, not now, not ever, no never!" (Sung to
the tune of Amazing Grace)

How about

Gettin' Drunk

"I'm getting drunk, with or without you"

Prefect for Orks would be

Nurture my pig

"Hey baby you talk that slop, my pig loves that slop, slop baby, my pig and
slop, I got a pig, NURTURE MY PIG!!!!"

could easily be sung "I got a squig, NURTURE MY SQUIG!!!!"

"If I had a rocket launcher" By Bruce Cockburn

Much of sTp's Core cd. Wicked Garden "I wanna run through your wicked
garden, heard that's the place to find ya. But I'm alive, so alive now, I
know the darkness blinds ya."
or Naked Sunday "You're the fuel to the fire, you're the weapons of war,
You're the irony of justice, and the father of law... Your the champion of
sorrow, you're the love and the pain, you're the fighter of evil, yet you're
the one and the same"

And of course, for those all Blood Angel/Dark Angel armies, Gregorian Chants

If I was rich I would install a 5 million dollar stereo system in a 18x 18
ft room with two 8x6 tables covered in Geo-hex modular terrain including
sunken road sets. The stereo will have a 100 cd player, with savable,
programmable selections, which is all controlled from a remote computer
console attatched to both sides of both tables, which includes two montiors
suspended from the ceiling over both computer upon which I can project
detachment cards as well as pages of the rule book. I would also have a
seperate room, lets say about the size of a large walk in closet where I
store my millions of minatures. There will be another Terrain Storage room
as well.

Do you think a balcony would be a little extravagent. Maybe surveilance
cameras so I can store the games which I will project onto my screen in my
private theater and review battles to figure out certain strategies, and how
to beat any opponent.

And then I would buy GW and supply them with so much money that they can
sell their miniatures very cheaply, but still in such a way that it makes
money (Advanced computerized systems that are so advanced that they not only
save money, they also allow me to continue to use the same amount of staff.

Then I would buy a planet on which I would build armies of mechanized GW
figure who me and my friends would control from skyhook semi-orbital palaces.

Then I would finally finish painting the miniatures that came in my boxed
set. (I'm doing good, this is my third day of mail, three meals a day, rule
reading, mock battles to nail rules down, and painting. I am almost done my
third stand of tact marines)
