This one
I believe the title best fits my opinion of DF.

Yeah, this song should've appeared here sooner or later! 

[JujuBubu]

Over the Hills and far far away from Nightwhish
and
when johnny comes marching home again

[Narushima]

When battles are going on, Amon Amarth is what seems to fit just right.
I can't decide which lyrics fit the best, but I like "Arson" :

They came riding at first light
Fifty men armed to the teeth
The sounding horn called us out to fight
We went to meet them with our steel

Outnumbered yet we fought
But soon we were overrun
We took refuge in our home
Our downfall had just begun

They attacked our home, we kept them out
Defending ourselves with spear and bow
We took them out one by one
As the rising autumn sun glowed

There was twenty dead on each side
When we first smelled something burn
We heard them laughing from outside
Taunting us with spiteful words

They set the house on fire
In order to smoke us out
Only five of us were still alive
And our time was running out

Raging flames surrounded us all
Our home was under siege
Crumbling roof and burning walls
There was no way to break free

As we were all about to die
We swore a sacred oath
Revenge would be claimed if someone survived
And we sealed the oath in blood

The roof caved in and cleared a path
A way out of the flames
It was decided that I'd go first
As we made for our escaped

Suddenly the walls came down
And trapped the rest inside
My closest friends died that day
Only I made it out alive

[Eater of Vermin]

"Down Among The dead Men"   (The English air from the 1700s or so, not that 'orrible thing by Flash In The Pan.    )


Here's a health to the Queen and a lasting peace,
To faction an end, to wealth increase;
Come, let us drink it while we have breath,
For there's no drinking after death,
And he that will this health deny,

[JadeFalcon]

The Benny Hill theme song.

[Jetman123]

Oh yeah, I forgot about another one of my favorites from Floggin Molly. "Drink and fight".

AND WE'LL DRINK AND DRINK AND DRINK AND DRINK AND FIGHT!

[FlyingScissorKick]

Dead Bodies Everywhere by Korn

[BEATME]

Personally I always hear "The Bard's Song - The Hobbit" by Blind Guardian

Out in the distance
There's so much gold
The treasure that I've found
Is more than enough
Far to the hill we've to go
Over the mountains and seas
To the old hill
Where the old dragon sleeps
Blind in the dark dungeon's night
So God please take me away from here
And Gollum shows the way right out

I'm alive

The dying dragon brought trouble and pain
And horror to the halls of stone
I'll take the mighty stone
And leave the dwarves behind
Ice and fire and forest we passed
And horror in the halls of stone

Trolls in the dark
The dawn took them all
Caught in the wood
By the wooden king's men
But now I'm alone
'Cause I've made up my mind
By the spell of gold

The king under the mountain
Will risk the great war
Oh what a fool
He's losing control
So I am trying to find a way
Blind in the dark dungeon's night
Then darkness comes from the northern side
And Thorin clears his mind

[Elvenshae]

The Benny Hill theme song.

... and "Stuck in the Middle with You."
 

[G-Flex]

"700 Hobo Names" by John Hodgman. One of you must know what this is.

Alternatively: The theme to Fraggle Rock. Particularly good if your fortress is spiraling into decay and destruction.

[Glacies]

Kansas- Dust in the wind (For obvious reasons)
The Mechanicsburg tourism song
Witch of the westmooreland, by stan rogers when I'm playing adventure mode.

And that red waltz thing from the doom 2 soundtrack OC remix made.

[unobtaniumman]

The Benny Hill theme song.

"Yakity sax" is it's name. Aw man, I just saw my hunters chasing a groundhog around and thought of that music.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Goblins dance by Ensiferuim.

[Vince7403]

While it's perhaps not appropriate, I frequently find that I can't get "Dwarf Invasion" by Reggie and the Common Denominators out of my head while playing Dwarf Fortress.

You are not my friend...
You are my foe!
You are two feet tall
and you have got to go!

This is DWARF INVASION!
(DWARF INVASION)
This is DWARF INVASION!
(DWARF INVASION)

and so on.  There was a very nice anime music video of Azumanga Daioh set to it at A-Kon 2008. 
Here, however, is just the song alone, without amusing anime accompaniment.

[SoylentNinja]

Lets see
 Frayed ends of Sanity, for tantrum spirals and beserk dwarves
Leather Militia for sieges and ambushes
Jump in the Fire, for all the critters living in the magma pipes
And Justice for All, for obvious reasons
Creeping Death for certain events

All by Metallica, what can I say i like their music.

Another good song is f&*% that by Korn
