Honestly, why have plinky-plonky stuff, along with the dreaded heartbeat, when you could have any number of classic and well-loved tunettes to ease the strain of the viewers having to listen to squawking eejits who can't quite realise that a microphone means never having to say you're sorry for causing bleeding of the eardrums.

I would suggest one or more from the following list of some of my personal favourites:

Far more apropos than the endless plink plonk, plink plonk rubbish. Think on.
 
How about Lulu's "Shout"?

Anything by Chas and Dave would also be appropriate I think - just to add to the market stall ambience - however, if they still want to keep to an unsubtle, pounding cacophony what about the theme tune to Jaws? It's got all the right components; a shark, lots of people screaming, and the element of disaster....

And let's not forget these old classics, all of them to be found on any good K-Tel record circa 1973:

I think the theme tune from Titanic would be suitable because from what I read and see, they're definitely sinking fast!
