As infamously memorialized in song, it never arrived.

Very bad use of 'infamous' here, as that implies bad connotations like 'infamous criminal'. Gordon Lightfoot's FAMOUS ballad, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, has assured that this disaster will live long after he and we have passed.

It depends on what you thought of the song. Miss marmelstein's brother thinks it's just fine. (see post 16)
