A freind from Grand Rapids, Laurel Mullendyke, wrote one of the
many songs about the Challenger explosion/disaster. Her's was one of
the few played live for astronaughts. It had a simple title: "Seven".

Looks like I will have to come up with some more difficult topics. I had no
idea so many newsworthy events turned into songs. Any songs about the flu?
Wasn't 1917 the big outbreak?

Cindi, lynx to home.intrnet.org/~estin/cd
and take a look at Paul's CD mixes. He has quite a few almost all
based on various topics, including the VIA set, which includes Via
Rocket. Each of the Eclectica tend to have a theme.

Thanks, Tim. I found lists of transportation songs, and songs about jobs and
finance, baseball, and animals.
If flu songs are not available, are there songs about other ailments:
aching backs or feet, colds, broken arms, headaches, polio, tuberculosis,
heart attacks, lung cancer, or AIDS? Ulcers, acne, baldness, toothache....

Robyn Hitchcock's "Lady Waters and the Hooded One" is about the
bubonic plague.
Depression is an illness, technically speaking... plenty of songs
about being depressed! :) Or there's the Throwing Muses' "Mania."
I'm sure there's other mental illness songs.
John Lennon's "Cold Turkey" is about *feeling* sick, though not for
reasons of illness...

Diseases."

David Lindley has a tune about tuberculosis.
Lou Reed did a tune or two about cancer on his "Magic and Loss" CD.

Is there any Y2K music? I just read that people expected the world to end
not only in 1000 but in 1500 (and at various dates since).

One could make a (weak) case for TAFKAP's "1999"

"Y2K," by the Apples in Stereo. I think that's a pretty strong case. :)

"Why must I be the Millennium Bug?" by the Capital Steps (great parody
of "Teenager in love")
Re: Way back there -- The Zamboni Song. I thought there were 2 songs
with this title, one, by the Gear Box Daddies (?) about "I wanna drive
the Zamboni Machine" I don't know if the second one actually exists or
not.
Are there any other classic "Hockey" songs, other than the Zamboni
Song(s) and "Good old hockey game"?

Stompin Tom Conners has a song called "The Hockey Song". They play it
before all the home MSU hockey games. (Or maybe that's the Good Old
hockey game previously mentioned)

re #93: you're probably thinking of the Geardaddies, a Minneapolis-area
band..

The Arrogent Worms have a tune called "Me Like Hockey".
Mike Ridley has a nifty one called "Itzusi Scores".
Check out recent Dr. Demento playlists for tunes about hockey
and Y2K.
