He did in street fighter 2 ....but he doesn't have a remixed theme in street fighter 4 :/ 
 
 

Well they've said in developer blogs that they're bringing back everyone's classic theme songs in SSFIV. Of course they won't be featured prominently in the game, as the current characters in SFIV with themes you'd never know had them -- since they aren't traditional stage music and only appear in rival battles. But that's ok, custom soundtracks for the win. 
 
This is the best version of Balrog's theme, without a doubt...PUNCHIN' MY WAY ON THROUGH LIFE!

I  suppose you barely hear the Themes anyway so its not such a big problem :/ "

He is black.

" Because his SFIV crotch is too big. "

More to the point why hasn't Capcom fixed the three rotated names :-

1. Balrog The Boxer is actually meant to be M. Bison (a takeoff Mike Tyson, who he styled off)
2. Vega the Brazilian fighter is actually meant to be Balrog
3. M. Bison the holder of PsychoPower is meant to be called Vega

I just think it's silly that Capcom never bothered to put their real names back. "

" @lordofultima: I still want to fight you, btw. "

It's because he's black that he doesn't get a theme.

Speaking of black characters, I hope to hell that one of the remaining characters to be revealed is Elena.

I really wish that they would remix everyone's theme (and make good themes for all the new/returning characters) and set it so that when you do a versus match there's a chance it'll play the stage music of the stage you selected to fight on, player 1's character theme, or player 2's character theme. It's such a shame we hear the awesome  nostalgia-inducing tracks that everyone wants to hear only during rivals matches against the computer. A damn shame!
 
Or they could just give us a BGM select on the stage select screen.

Haven't seen you send an invite in at least 3 days, I thought you just gave it up. Indeed, if you are on we will fight. "

Black characters don't get a theme unless they are graced with one by capcom. It's the rules, I'm afraid.

I hope Vega's new theme is good, I love his original SF2 theme.

Thanks for finding a quote. That'll be fantastic if it's a toggle in the options menu or something. Hopefully something easy to swap back and forth, because I do like the themes for the SFIV stages, but the character themes just have to be heard!

Balrog's Theme should be the theme from Punch Out. 

" @lordofultima: Whhhhaaaaaaaatttttt??!!?! Source please!! "

Cool, between that and the quote above that's good enough for me. Exciting!! I was expecting that feature to be left out. Very glad it isn't.

This time, we can hear the remix themes outside of the rival battle, right?

In SSFIV all characters will be getting a remixed version of their theme - how did that come about?

Tomozawa:
The biggest reason was that this was a huge request from a lot of the fans. In the comments on the official blog, even if the entry had nothing to do with music there would be comments such as "no remix theme for such and such character?" We felt that this is something people really wanted, so when it was time to make SSFIV this is one of the first things we decided on. This time, we would definitely have themes for all the characters.

This time, we can hear the remix themes outside of the rival battle, right?

Tomozawa:

That's right. As the people also wanted to hear them during battles, we made it so that this can be easily unlocked. Ms. Shiozawa already mentioned it on her blog last week, but to explain it again - on the Status screen if you set your icon and title, it will unlock the Arrange BGM option. From Sound in the Options menu, set Arrange BGM to on and you'll be able to hear the remix themes during battle. And when you go into an online lobby, you will hear either a stage BGM or the remix BGM randomly. Also, for all rival battles, this time around you will hear your own character's theme.

I would like to see a totally new one, I don't think the SF2 original should be used for the basic melody.

I disagree, I think to not use the established themes for these characters (albeit remixed) would be criminal.  The beautiful themes from SFII and their connection to the characters they represent is a huge deal to me, I was so sad at their use in SFIV.
