Worthy Spinoffs:

"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is a 1976 song written and sung by Gordon Lightfoot (the Toronto Maple Leafs Celebrity Captain for the 1991-92 season), commemorating the sinking of a tanker of the same name.

It consists of the Gordon Lightfoot song, accompanied by an image of the ship with a given fad incorporated (in this case, the USS Enterprise from Star Trek).

In March 2011, a variation of the fad emerged, with the opening chords of the song playing on a radio or other device. These are usually surprise sites:
