Another "list of songs about". Trivial overlistification. Bulldog123 21:01, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Disaster songs" is not a notable genre that reliable sources are discussing. This appears to be overlistification. (As an aside, which disaster is "Monster Mash" supposed to refer to?) -- Charlene 21:59, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This specific list could be interesting for film makers and the other composers.Ttturbo 22:15, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Filmmakers usually don't put songs with lyrics in their films. Bulldog123 23:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete ""You're a mean one Mr. Grinch" From the movie "The Grinch who stole Christmas"" The Grinch Who Stole Christmas? Anyway, I'm inclined to agree that this is an unneccessary list. Calgary 23:36, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as this would be hard to define. Some choices are obvious (e.g. "One Last Time" by Dusty Drake, about a plane crash), but some -- yeah. It's far too interpretive. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 00:00, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia isn't the place to categorize meanings of songs Corpx 00:28, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * What's worse is this isn't even about meanings. It's just a collection of references, for lack of a better word. Bulldog123 01:26, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - loosely connected list. --Haemo 02:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral Not that the idea is bad, but a lot of songs on the list don't belong (and many are based on interpretation). The list of disasters, real and supposed, is too long, and most of these songs seem to be obscure.  The "car crash" genre of songs was a strange, but familiar theme during the 1950s and 60s when baby boomers were starting to drive, hence "Last Kiss", "Leader of the Pack", etc.  I can't bring myself to vote "keep".

 * Delete suffers the same infirmities that most "songs about" articles do: how much "about" the subject (here a rather wide but vague one), and who tells us as much? No sources=OR. Carlossuarez46 06:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for most of the same reasons as List of songs about homosexuality was deleted. Does not serve a meaningful purpose per WP:LIST.-h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 23:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; A strange and overly broad topic to write a list of songs about. I struggle to think of any situation where people might use this list. Cedars 07:31, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
