Bet you the best one is one right here from South Africa - ♪ Shozoloza ♪ - "dig, dig, digging in the sun"
It is from the Ipi Tombi soundtrack from the mid-seventies. Great digging song!!

Looks like someone has previously blogged about this, but I'm not familiar with their song choices:

Personally, I've always found that I have to stretch the meaning of songs to make them relate to my work - usually they're about ancient mystical ruins or construction!
