The idea, find songs that shouldn't EVER be used in space battles, but some people just might do it...
The Final Countdown - by Europe is my first contribution

Preferably while you're glassing a planet

Actually, it's so bad that it comes back around again and becomes ironic. Like "We'll meet again someday" at the end of Dr. Strangelove. Agreed on final countdown though.

As far as the realm as the realm of possibility goes, I hope I never see "We are the Champs" used in a spacefight. Ever.
As far as hilarious goes, Mary Had a Little Lamb set on repeat as the behemoths slug it out.

That could be chilling if done right, though. A child singing a little children's lullaby, even as thousands of men are fried in a burst of gamma rays from a near-miss nuclear detonation... It could really highlight the inhumanity of war to set it to a children's song.

Also Sprach Zarathustra, because something you might hear in laundromat and car ads loses much of its charm.

Also there was a Blood(that classic FPS) theme that started with a Children's lullaby, it would be eerie if it did not degraded into a LOL Circus music after the well done opening.

Don't Stop Me Now by Queen would be the best thing ever for the "oh hay the good guys will win after all" part of a battle.

Seconded.
I think any 80s rock or pop-rock in a space battle would be horrendous. It isn't absurd enough to be da-da, and isn't dramatic enough to reinforce the situation.
