Songs? A most hilarious song about Friday the 13th is here (I could also link to the (orig.) German version, if that would be more helpful).

Speaking about words for pub quizzes: PARASKEVIDEKATRIAPHOBIA is (one of) the terms(s) used for the specific fear of Friday 13th (an alternative would be friggatriskaidekaphobia). And I always thought it was only the Germans who constructed words of sentence length.
