Are there any songs(or parts of them(Or even slightly modified)) that, when you listen to them, remind you of dwarf fortress?
Here's one from me:

Spoiler:  "Still Alive" from Portal (click to show/hide)

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here,
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Dwarven Aperture science.

We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us
except the ones who are dead.
But there's no use crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done
and you make a neat gun
for the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart
and killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
i was so happy for you!

....

So i'm glad i got burned
think of all that we have learned
for the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think i prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else
to help you.

....

Look at me still talking
when there's science to do.
When i look out there
it makes me glad i'm not you.
I've experiments to run
there is research to be done
for the people who are still alive.

for me, it'd have to be Mastadon - Blood and Thunder. Heaviest, most violent song I've heard in a while. I listen to it when playing in adventure mode.

We need lightning in DF.

Imagine all the funny things a dwarf can do with electricity...

Who needs Tesla when you have dwarves and lightning

in DF a telsa coil is actually a conductor rod with a bunch of elves strapped to it

 
also on the topic of songs, hall of the mountain king is a nice orchestral piece that can be dwarfy

Wooden Pints by Korpiklaani is pretty appropriate. It's a folk metal song about underground dwellers that party and murder and drink all day. It also mentions what seems to be a legendary dining room, massive quantities of reindeer meat, and the dwarves' ability to continue reveling despite the numerous tragedies they have endured.

With their intestines coiled around them.

Impressive. I bet this is what toady was listening to when he came up with the idea for dwarf fortress.

Anything on my music library repertoire reminds me of DF, as I tend to listen to epic music.

However, I think Ghost Love Score is a great one for Fortress Mode.

"Land Down Under" by Men at Work.

"I said 'Do you speak my language'"
He just smiled and gave me a plump helmet sandwich.

Blind Guardian - Valhalla!

So much this.

Colony of Birchmen maybe? It has the word dwarves in it, so...
