Song named "A Gorey Demise". If you have not seen most of these in your fortress, you are doing something wrong.

Man: All right, everbody sit down, quiet down, listen up. I brought you all here to recite the annual obituaries. Like every year, we'll start with A and we'll end with Z. All right, is the band ready?
Deep, toad like voice: Ready.
Man: All right, hit it, Boils.
Boils: And a one, and a two. (Music starts.)

I believe we have found DF in song form.

Hm...not sure about the car-and-train related ones, but for the most part, yarr, this be pretty close.

Read through the whole thread (and listened to some phat beats, thanks guys ) because I was sure someone else had to have posted this by now:

Wishery by Pogo

In my mind it encapsulates Fortress Mode perfectly:
A whole bunch of incomprehensible gibberish, with the only part that makes any sense being the endless repetitive digging.

Can't get dwarfier that a song by dwarves!  Just look at them exploit that wildlife!

"Come on now, men!"

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Bhram's Violin concerto in D minor, movement III
better known as the "There Will Be Blood" song
everytime I listen to it while playing df, my nobles just get that much more corrupt

[Alestom]

on second thought....

"Can't Hold Us" By: Macklemore

Just up-beat enough to keep things interesting and the chorus can relate to the fortress ending seige that you might face, mobilizing your millitary and preparing for war.

The natural end of any fortress.....madness

[red_29A]

It's hard to pick just one song! i usually have a playlist with all the albums by a few bands. Mostly instrumental stuff...

Explosions In the Sky
Russian Circles
Red Sparowes
This Will Destroy You
East of the Wall
Big Business
ISIS
Cult of Luna
Zozobra
Pelican
Rosetta

And my old standby, the Melvins

And there are some epic tracks on the soundtracks for the new Evangelion movies...

It was made for it. SO IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO USE IT.

We came from burnt and wasted homes
We came from crumbled walls.
We left behind our hoary dead
Entombed in shattered halls.

Our wagon's name was Heavy Heart
Our horse was Sturdy Back.
We left behind the Mountainhomes;
The night was cold and black

We rode until the wretched swamp,
We rode to stinking soil—
To Gemclod where the earth is foul,
To Gemclod where we toil.

We struck the muddy oozing earth,
We delved a mighty pit.
It smelled of stone beneath the bog,
Of metal ore and grit.

Our swamp was filled with evil beasts;
Our brothers slew the lot.
The harpies fell in floods of gore,
Their corpses left to rot.

We hollowed out our hallowed halls
We drank 'neath fens that boil.
In Gemclod where the earth is foul,
In Gemclod where we toil.

We work our crafts in wood and stone
We store our gems in hoards.
The bats and jaguars flee our spears—
The marshland's mighty lords.

Our forges burn in magma caves
Our dining hall is grand.
We'll beat back any fetid foe
And pacify our land.

We ne'er shall see our fortress die
Our land and works despoiled.
In Gemclod where the earth is foul,
In Gemclod where we've toiled.

We watched the elves surprise our kin
We watched them charge our fort.
They slew our loyal guarding dog
In nauseating sport.

Our brothers faced the forest foe,
Our brothers bathed in blood.
The elven cowards fled the field;
Their corpses stained the mud.

We hacked apart their savage beast
We set its flesh to boil.
In Gemclod where the earth is foul,
In Gemclod where we toil.

Oh no

Now I will permanently associate Entry of the Gladiators with DF
...
Now I'm picturing all of my dwarves dressed in clown suits doing what they do normally...

DWARF FORTRESS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

[dizzyelk]

Mostly just because I listen to Skiltron constantly...

Funny how music can affect our play style so much, its astounding

[Radiant_Phoenix]

Hmm, perhaps... this?

Maybe when cave-in detection is improved.
