So if you want music you can use while also being able to monetise your content?
Here's a list I've gathered over time to use in these types of videos :-D
Make sure to check the details on the website just in case as some do carry fees and Terms and conditions
LIST BEGINS!!

Another royalty free music:
Some free, some not, all all able to use:
Free and creative commons music:
Creative commons music (typically rock music with instrumentals of each song):
Can't miss Youtube's very own audio library. Some really good stuff on here. Especially some of those orchestrated classics like Midsummer's Night Dream (wedding song):
Newgrounds, some you can use, but if unsure, check the description or mail the owner:

If you have the money though, you can always licence music. The cheaper licences usually appear on sites like and , or you can get written approval from an artist you like. Don't be expecting JayZ to mail you back though, he will probably be expecting a Huuuuuuge sum of cash.
Also, for those on Mac you have plenty of Garageband music and loops that you can use! And you can customise it to fit your video by dragging your finished video without music into garageband and drag and drop the loops!
Or if you are really talented, you can use programs like and to compose music for yourself
