Must have lyrics.

Can be classic (even opera), folk, country, "Hot funk, cool punk even if it's old junk."

Stipulation: No mopey songs about losers beamoaning their fates. Our "hero" has to be a man (or woman ) of action. Can still lose the fight, but puts one up!

TV/Movie theme songs aloud— but again, must have actual lyrics, and must be about the hero. (So Gilligan's Island is out. "Believe it r Not" —the Greatest American Hero)is borderline.)

"Batman"— The Batman TV show, 1966-68.
"Frog Went a Courtin'"
"Good Ole Boys"— The Dukes of Hazard theme song
"Robin Hood"— The Adventure of Robin Hood TV Show theme song."
"And Along Came Jones."
"Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier"— TV Series
"Daniel Boone" Daniel Boone TV Series.
"Spider-man" theme song, Spider-man TV series 1967
"The Ballad of John Henry"
"Conquistador" by Procol Harum (is he a hero or a villain? You decide)
"The Minstrel Boy"
"The Ballad of Casey Jones"
"Hydra"— Toto Hydra

I will add more as I think of them. Add yours!

Zorro. "Out of the night, when the full moon is bright…" The Disney TV series theme had lyrics. Not so sure about any of the movies.
