In 1957, Huey “Piano” Smith and The Clowns released the song Rockin’ Pneumonia and The Boogie Woogie Flu. The song was a reference to the 1957 and 1958 pandemic of the Asian flu. Although, the lyrics are really about approaching a woman at a nightclub and really do not provide any suggestion to the pandemic. I remember the remake version by Johnny Rivers in 1972.  The song hit number six on the United States Billboard Hot 100 in the winter of 1973.
