Gallows humor, burning Down the House

This is tasteless, but somehow quite appropriate.

Why not be tasteless? When else can you get away with this sort of thing?

Well, the song is inspiring, even in the face of a depressing and costly event.

It's not tasteless, it's laughing in the face of adversity. Whistling in the cemetery and all that.

cm, I was actually in a rather grouchy and depressed mood for a bit there, but that is where black humor and laughing comes in.

Well yes Denis, that tune and anything from 'Remain in Light' were pretty much on constant rotation in college, and still my favorite in the car.
