Ever hear a song that makes you think of D&D?

Sure, all the time. Several Iron Maiden songs: The Dualists, Powerslave, Number of the Beast, and a few others. There are other bands as well, but can't think of them off hand.

Flash of the Blade*

As a young boy chasing dragons
with your wooden sword so mighty
you're St. George or you're David and you've come to kill the beast

But times change very quickly
and you had to grow up early
the house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet

You'll die as you lived
in a flash of the blade
in a corner forgotten by no one
You live for the touch for the feel of the steel
one man and his honor. . .

*In regard to the editorial "Real Men Don't Play GURPS:" Iron Maiden, music for Real Men!

Dice Lice Blues

Every chest's a Mimic, all the gold's illusion;
The ring I found's a gimmick, which only caused Confusion;
My magic-user's gone bananas, too -Oh,
why must I throw dice the way I do?

One of my players played this for us. Stopped our game for half an hour.

ManOWar, classic stuff. Demon's Whip always cracked me up.

D&Dish Music

Someone already mentioned Stevie Nicks. I based an entire 6-month campaign off of "Landslide", specifically the live version from Fleetwood Mac.

And I based an Imp familiar NPC off of "My Little Demon" by Fleetwood Mac.

So the answer to the original question is yes!

Also saw Manowar brought up, it's a little over the top but it certainly does the deed.

New World Man by Rush.

Chalk it up to mishearing the line "He’s a writer and arranger..." as "He's a writer and a Ranger..."
