Peter Krug, in Guerneville, CA, has an excellent song called Duct Tape. The chorus is:

Duct Tape, what would we do without Duct Tape, couldn't muddle through without Duct Tape, it's all the rage

Duct Tape, couldn't get by without Duct Tape, praise it to the skies It's the number one miracle of our modern age

And has four verses involving emergency repair situations, including a crashed space ship.
