I do remember Paul Burnett (BBC Radio DJ) after a news bulletin concerning a particularly nasty aircraft accident, starting the next section of his show with Nic Lowes "Crawling from the Wreckage" !
And, after the death of a well known American singer songwriter (with glasses)...His big hit, "Leaving on a Jet plane" was conspicuous by its absence on the airwaves for a very long time (In fact I don't think I've heard it since!)
