"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.

+
The first site to use elements of this was {{ytmnd|RickdoCalrisstly|Never gonna give Rickdo Calrisstly up!}} by {{ytmnduser|ghcghcghc}}, but this is a surprise site that has nothing to do with what the fad has become only a year (lol) after the site was published.  As such {{ytmnd|the-legend-lives-on|Wreck of the USS Fitzgerald}} by {{ytmnduser|ficklefackle}} can arguably be considered the first site of this fad.  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).
+
 
+
{{ytmnduser|Captain-L337}} first stated treating it as a fad before the mainstream caught on, with such sites as:
+
*{{y|fitzgerald|Wreck Of The Bleepmund Fitzbloopald}} (warning - noise site)
+
*{{y|s-n-t-s-g|Wreck of the Snoop Nye The Slam Guy}}
+
*{{y|wreckofthetcbcr|Wreck of The TCBCR}}
+
 
+
{{ytmnduser|maxzorin}}'s {{ytmnd|wreckofthetoolmanfitzgeraldniggerniggernigger|Wreck of the Toolman}} was also fairly popular at that time due to the [[Tim Allen|Toolman]] fad.
+
 
+
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 [[interruption fads|surprise sites]]:

*{{y|these-jams-be-kickin|these jams be kickin'}}
