Oh, yeah..."D.O.A." by Bloodrock. You have to admire the harmonic structure of the song, though--it's built totally around tritones, the diabolus in musica interval that is almost always avoided, precisely to induce that uneasy feeling that the song generates.

Ah, yes, the painful diminished fifth...
Also of note (so to speak) is that many radio stations took "D.O.A." off their playlists because the sirens were realistic enough that people were pulling over to the side of the road when it came on.
