The Wiki article on the USS Akron reports, way down at the end of the article:

"Songwriter Bob Miller wrote and recorded a song—"The Crash of the Akron"—within one day of the disaster."

The reference to the song carries a footnote "18" that shows a link to

^ "Newsweek: "Come All You True People, a Story to Hear"". Retrieved 2008-01-25

The Newseek article may give more information on the song, although it appears to be just a brief review of a collection of "Disaster Songs." I haven't made it quite far enough to see whether it all connects to something.
