I grew up hearing my father sing this song. Today is the 35th anniversary of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

This song always makes me think of an old Richard Jeni bit that I'd post a clip of if they didn't make me take it off Youtube for copyright infringement.

Essentially, he says this song is the song you want to play when you want to clear people out of your house after a party, because it's that depressing.

"And a wave hit the boat and they all died like rats and they laid there and their lungs filled with watERRRRRRR!

And back on the shore their wives and no insurance and their children turned to drugs and prostituTIOOOON!"
