Meanwhile, has anyone heard about a song called Gloomy Sunday? There is a 
gimmicky legend connected with this about how hundreds of people have committed 
suicide while clutching the song sheet of this song in their hands. I'm 
definitely willing to discount most of the stories but the fact remains...this is one 
awesome song. Check it out...here is the link:

I'm familiar with it mainly from Elvis Costello's version, and it's later 
quotation in "Blood Orgy of the Atomic Fern" by the Dead Milkmen.
