The first for HFS, the second for everyone else.
EDIT:
DANGIT, NINJA'D TO THE EXTREME!

[UristMcHuman]

Particularly during a siege, I think 'Sink the Bismarck!' would be relatively appropriate:

In May of 1941, the war had just begun.
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns.
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea.
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees.

Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship, the Hood
And ev'ry British seaman he knew and understood.
They had to sink the Bismarck, the terror of the seas.
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees.

We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss.
We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us.
We hit the decks a-runnin', boys, and spin those guns around,
'Cause when we find the Bismarck, we gotta cut 'er down.

The Hood found the Bismarck, and on that fatal day
The Bismarck started firin' fifteen miles away.
'We gotta sink the Bismarck!' was the battle sound,
But when the smoke had cleared away, the mighty Hood went down.

For six long days and weary nights, they tried to find her trail.
Churchill told the people 'Put ev'ry ship a-sail
'Cause somewhere on that ocean, I know she's gotta be.
We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea.

We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss.
We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us.
We hit the deck a-runnin', boys n' spin those guns around.
'Cause when we find the Bismarck, we gotta cut 'er down.

The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the mornin' sun.
Ten hours away from homeland, the Bismarck made its run.
The Admiral of the British Fleet said 'Turn those bows around.
We found that German Bismarck, and we're gonna cut 'er down'.

*2 foot-pedal drum beats*

The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin' fast.
The first shell hit the Bismarck, they knew she couldn't last.
That mighty German battleship is just a memory.
'Sink the Bismarck' was the battle cry that shook the seven seas.

We found that German battleship from makin' such a fuss.
We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us.
We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around, yeah
We found that mighty Bismarck and we had to cut 'er down.

We found that German battleship from makin' such a fuss.
We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us.
We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around,
We found that mighty Bismarck, and then we cut 'er down.

Go to YouTube and type in 'Sink the Bismarck' in the search box.

I think this song would be much more appropriate once such things are implemented and goblins bring a large battleship with catapults and ballistae.

Sorry for the long post.

[Kastrol Aslaasri]

There is one song of one of my favourite bands, Unexpect, that reminds me of DF in the lyrics.
Also, is quite an epic song, and the band itself is like DF, it has a "difficult wall", is quite difficult to listen, but when you do, is the craziest, epic and strange thing you will ever hear.... ever xD

Unexpect - The Fall of Arthrone
(...)

Mid-season of the coloured rains on Arthrone's kingdom
Cowardness of the loathsome guards of this empire
A ball of fantasy disappearing in shadows
Behold, the fall of Arthrone
A goblin smiling by a flash of rune
The being of nothingness part with his domain

Holy carp, I've looped "Entry of the gladiators" in the background while playing, and suddenly dwarven behavior makes sense...

[Lectorog]

Guys, Korpiklaani doesn't count. They are dwarves - it's an unfair advantage.

I feel like we need a song to sing whilst digging.

entry of the gladiators.

i think i've said this before.  just thought i'd restate it.

[Adjective Noun]

Did someone say digging song?

Indeed.

[monk12]

MADNESS REIGNS!
IN THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING!

Wooden Pints would be perfect, if DF dwarves actually knew how to party.

[eggrock]

Partial lyric, bonus points if you know the song/band without Googling.

Ah babe, I'm a real hard worker
with the proper tools, I'll make you anything you yearn for.
The barbarians are at the gate,
come in before it's too late.
I've got food enough to last the two of us about a year.
A thousand cans of chowder and a thousand cans of beer.
I love my neighbors like I love my own brothers,
but every year they're getting odder and odder.

[Teneb]

I'd say it's Tom Wait's Underground

[dmurray]

Three Inches of Blood: Wykydtron
Warning, it's screamo (loud metal).

It's basically about a poster the band saw and they wrote a song about it.

Anyway, it's about a cyborg several hundreds of years into the future. It reminds me of DF about the guy who made a computer in it.

I feel one day, we will make a cyborg.

Oh and: Axes of Evil by the same band.
Lyrics:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

hark!
a scout has reached the gate, bringing new of war
in a fortnight they'll be here, legions of the nameless fear
our king he cannot lead, our king is growing old
with a courageous cry, a young man rises from the fold
the answer we seek lies in the frozen waste
i leave at dawn with haste for...
axes of evil
astonished faces look his way, as the hopeful carry horror in their hearts
uncertain of a power that malice forged in steel
i must face this threat that challenges our lives
ill strike out with vengeance, ill reap from their demise
no! you must not seek the blades, its said that they are cursed
possess you if they're found, to the dreadlord they are bound
cutting flesh for him to eat, bloody raw lucifer meat
peril awaits you in the fjords, we cannot lose you to the...
axes of evil, strong not feeble
axes of evil, come on!
axes of evil, out fates wrapped in steel
axes of evil, come on! Come on!
the future of our land lies in the balance
you must go to save us all
at last theyre found floating in a crystal orb
speak the incantation written on the wall
in a blinding flash the axes fly into his hands
too much power for him to bear, he'll wreak havoc on the land
wreaking havoc on the land
axes of evil, our fates wrapped in steel
axes of evil, come on!
axes of evil, will kill all the people
axes of evil, come on! Come on!
here comes our hero, back from his quest
here to save us all, deliver us from death
...axes of evil
on the fourteenth mornings chill, from the rampart he is spotted on the hill
with a look of burning poison that fills his eyes with rage
i have returned to put an end to all your livesd
with no remorse i will reap from your demise

Oh and deadly sinners by the same band also.
Lyrics:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Don't walk the cold and ruthless streets,
they drain the life from all they meet.
the servants crying underground,
smelling mortal blood like hounds.
as you crawl the sewer pipes,
deadly sinners set to strike.
as you walk around the bend,
you'll be dead right there where you stand!

CHORUS
flash of iron, leather, spikes, and swords!
mighty warriors with metal on their side!
enemies of metal, your death is our reward!
triumphant victory when you bring the steel to life

deadly sinners
VICTORY!
deadly sinners
WHEN YOU BRING!
deadly sinners
THE STEEL TO LIFE!
[2X]

CRUSHING THE LIGHT!
STALKING THE NIGHT!
DEADLY SINNERS ALWAYS WIN!

kill the tyrants, endless conquest
with no mercy, straight for his heart
bloodlust will overtake, anger and violence
without warning, lightning strikes in the dark
strikes you in the dark
LIGHTNING STRIKES
THE DARK!!!

RULING THE NIGHT!
WINNING THE FIGHT!
TAKING IT ALL!
Deadly, deadly sinners, you at night!

CHORUS
flash of iron, leather, spikes, and swords!
those mighty warriors with metal on their side!
enemies of metal, your death is our reward!
triumphant victory when you bring the steel to life!

deadly sinners
VICTORY!
deadly sinners
WHEN YOU BRING!
deadly sinners
THE STEEL TO LIFE!
[2X]

we are ruling the night, winning the fight
taking it all right to the end
winning the night, ruling the fight
take on last step before you die!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAhh ….. COMMON!!
RULING THE NIGHT!
WINNING THE FIGHT!
TAKING IT TO THE END!
YEEEAAAAAHHHH !!! OW!!!

A lot of metal would actually suit the game.

I believe we have found DF in song form.

[King DZA]

When i suddenly find myself having a plethora of Fun, usually from easily avoidable/dwarf caused situations, i sit back in my chair, stare silently at my screen, and this is what it sounds like in my head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVP48x4U7QE

Other than that, i think there a quite a few times when Dance of Death by Iron Maiden would fit very nicely.
