The Rules

LMAO that is amazing. I mean it’s not funny, I feel sorry for the poor passengers who were terrified, but that timing….the coincidence is just hilarious.

Apparently during part of the sinking of the Costaconcordia they played it in one of the lounges.

After noticing how inappropriate the song was, they played "Nearer My God to Thee" instead

Missed opportunity for the flutophone cover, but still hilarious.
