D&D Bard Songs

[DominusSilvarum]

When playing Bard, what are some of your go-to songs? I tend to use a lot of stuff from Van Canto myself since their "Instruments" are backup vocals which can easily be done by the rest of the party, or through minor illusion.

Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers were folk musicians famous in the 60's for their Irish ballads and drinking songs. "Little Beggar Man" and "The Wild Rover" are classics that you can learn and sing yourself.

When Patton Oswalt played bards he would write lyrics to songs and sing them himself. There was a particularly jaunty and vulgar tune he did on the Nerd Poker podcast that has since been lost to the annals of youtube-- I can't find it and link it-- but I'm sure you can imagine it well enough.
