You're probably thinking of the David Wilcox song.
 
 Navarro. Dan Navarro. Cousin of Dave.

Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet?  The Scorpions, anyone?

was thinking this morning that Katrina and the Waves  could get some "attention"  like Anthrax did... any chance of them reuniting and getting their name back out there is gonna be a tough sell... especially with "Walking On Sunshine" and "Going Down To Liverpool" in their catalog.

Bloc Party - Price of Gas

ggw - your first song selection proved to be disturbingly accurate

I know this is almost a tasteless post now given the tragedy but how could I have missed this one...from another decade and another riot but very fitting for New Orleans today.
 
 Rioting - The Rugburns
 
 They're rioting in my front yard
 They're sending in the National Guard
 People lootin, people shootin, baby I ain't just tootin my horn
 They're rioting in my front yard
 They're grabbing all the beer and diapers
 And don't forget the windshield wipers
 Fifty pairs, who cares? Man we'll sell' em at the fair
 And yeah they're rioting in my front yard
 They're burning Manny, Moe, and Jack
 The Pep Boys got a broken back
 They're stealin' clothes and breaking toes
 Hey, did you see that broken nose?
 And man, they're rioting in my front yard
 The news you can't miss, no
 It looks like a hit show
 The choppers are taking to the air
 The walls are coming down
 And yeah they're burning up this town
 At least the ratings will be up this year (Burn baby, burn)
 Now Rodney King may not have been a saint
 But what they did to him could make you faint
 We hear the whip, we hear the crack, and just because his skin was black
 Now they're rioting in my front yard
 Now a man ain't got a reason to smile
 If he gets a beating without a trial
 Hey wouldn't you be pissed they said Gorillas in the Mist
 And now they're rioting in my front yard
 Half these people haven't got a clue
 They're stealing clothes and saying, Rodney who?
 They've got it all wrong, it seems we'll never get along
 And now they're rioting in my front yard
 Well man, they're rioting in my front yard
 Oh yeah, they're rioting in my front yard

How about that one from the Simpsons?
 
 Wiggum: Long before the SuperDome,
         Where the Saints of football play,
         Lived a city that the damned called home,
         Hear their hellish roundelay...
 
 Cast:   New Orleeeans...
         Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!
         New Orleeeans...
         Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores!
         If you want to go to Hell, you should make that trip
         to the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp'!
 
         New Orleeeans...
         Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile!
         New Orleaaans...
         Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul!
         New Orleeeans...
         Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank!
 
         New Orleeeans!

 This is a mix I posted to Art of the Mix (www.artofthemix.com). I realize later I missed "Crescent City" by Emmylou Harris ... and in retrospect, "Burning and Looting" by Marley might have been a propos.
