I love this topic idea! Too bad we apparently can't embed youtube clips in this forum. :/ Anyway, here are a few of my suggestions for character theme songs, lyrics an explanations for my choices are in spoiler tags:

Tyrion Lannister - Mr. Jones by The Counting Crows

Tyrion just wants to be loved, just to be accepted and not ugly. This song embodies Tyrion to a tee. And the tempo is upbeat, the melody very catchy and likeable, but the whole song has this tinge of melancholy, sorrow and longing--Just like our loveable imp.

I was down at the New Amsterdam starin' at this yellow-haired girl,

Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with a black-haired flamenco dancer.

You know, she dances while his father plays.

And so, she's suddenly beautiful.

And we all want something beautiful.

Man, I wish I was beautiful...

So come dance the silence down through the mornin'.

Sha la la la la la la la.

Yeah.

Uh huh.

Yeah.

Cut up, Maria! Show me some of that Spanish dancin', n'

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones.

Believe in me,

Help me believe in anything.

'Cause I wanna be someone who believes.

Yeah.

Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales,

And we stare at the beautiful women

Petyr Baelish - Master of Puppets by Metallica

Especially in regards to Ned and Lysa:

End of passion play

Crumbling away

I'm your source of self-destruction

Veins that pump with fear

Sucking darkest clear

Leading on your death's construction

Taste me you will see

More is all you need

Dedicated to

How I'm killing you

Jaime Lannister: Kansas-Wayward Son

Cersei: Queen-Killer Queen

Westeros: Guns n Roses-Welcome 2 the Jungle

Tywin: Mr Grinch

Varys: Sting-Every Breath you take

I thought these were damn near perfect choices. I thought Wayward Son fit for Jiame in title only--the lyrics not so much--but I can't think of a better one offhand. And if you want to get nitpicky, The Police did "Every Breath You Take." ;)

I've been doing this a lot lately. Specifically with the Watch the Throne album, by Jay-Z and Kanye West. Almost every song fits a character, theme or event covered in the books. My favorite is "No Church in the Wild." Almost every line covers situations in the books!

I found the perfect Varys song: We know who u r (Nick Cave & the Bad seeds)

Tree don't care what the little bird sings

We go down with the dew in the morning light

The tree don't know what the little bird brings

We go down with the dew in the morning

And we breathe, it in

There is no need to forgive

Breathe, it in, there is no need to forgive

(again)

The trees will stand like pleading hands

We go down with the dew in the morning light

The trees all stand like pleading hands

We go down with the dew in the morning light

And we breathe it in

There is no need to forgive

Breathe it in, there is no need to forgive

(again)

The trees will burn with blackened hands

We return with the light of the evening

The trees will burn blackened hands

Nowhere to rest, with nowhere to land

And we know who you are

And we know where you live

And we know there's no need to forgive

And we know who you are

And we know where you live

And we know there's no need to forgive

And we know who you are

And we know where you live

And we know there's no need to forgive

And we know who you are

And we know where you live

And we know there's no need to forgive again
