I remember one called "Ballad of the Flying Dustman" about a garbage barge, to the tune of the Wreck,
"It must wander the earth in search of a berth
and meanwhile we're all stayin' upwind"

the barge had no place to dump the garbage and was sent here and there looking for a place, based on a true story from Long Island NY. Heard it on Dr. Demento around 1989-90.
