Also, The Royal Tar, from Schooner Fare, a song about a Circus ship that caught on fire, true story. Not on YouTube but I can email Ron the song if needed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVQjJwJ7Zqw Also Roll Alabama Roll, as not in the football team. But the Civil War ship. Also by Schooner Fare.

Weird Al's Christmas at Ground Zero is great and fits the Christmas and disaster criteria (and came out before 9/11). By the way, playing Mariah Carey should get you thrown out of almost anywhere except a department store.

Listen, especially with a party mix, sometimes we all have to look away (or plug our ears) for the greater good. There's really nothing wrong with Volcano, specifically.
