*I, ah, realized, I, I, I, ah, a, forgot "Night Train," by James Brown.

There's a song called "Washington" by a bad band called The Crucifucks.

There are some legitimate musicians such as Grover Washington & Dinah Washington.

There are of course many songs about Washington but do bot have Washington in the title. My five favorite are:

Vote for Me - Chicago
Harry Truman - Chicago
Monster - Steppenwolf
Politician - Cream
By jack bruce and pete brown Hey now baby, get into my big black car. Hey now baby, get into my big black car. I want to just show you what my politics are. I’m a political man and I practice what I preach. I’m a political man and I practice what I preach. So don’t deny me baby, not while you’re in my reach. I support the left, though I’m leaning, leaning to the right. I support the left, though I’m leaning to the right. But I’m just not there when it’s coming to a fight. Hey now baby, get into my big black car. Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
Rockin in the Free World - Neil Young

Leave us not forget Danny O'Keefe's beautiful "So Long Harry Truman" and of course Joe Jackson's "Right and Wrong".

We live for just these twenty years do we have to die for the fifty more?

This would not count (Bowie's " Young Americans.") in a Top Five Songs with Washington in the title. Are there songs with Washington in title, besides, "Washington Bullets," by the Clash ?

EOh! Mama, Mama look there! E Your children are playing in that street again E Don't you know what happened down there? E A youth of fourteen got shot down there E The Kokane guns of Jamdown Town E The killing clowns, the blood money men B6 A6 B6 E Are shooting those Washington bullets again As every cell in Chile will tell The cries of the tortured men Remember Allende, and the days before, Before the army came Please remember Victor Jara, In the Santiago Stadium, Es Verdas - those Washington Bullets again E And in the Bay of Pigs in 1961, E Havana for the playboys in the Cuban sun, EFor Castro is a colour, Is a redder than red, E Those Washington bullets want Castro dead B6 A6 For Castro is the colour... B6 E...That will earn you a spray of lead For the very first time ever, When they had a revolution in Nicaragua, There was no interference from America Human rights in America Well the people fought the leader, And up he flew... With no Washington bullets what else could he do? 'N' if you can find a Afghan rebel That the Moscow bullets missed Ask him what he thinks of voting Communist... ...Ask the Dalai Lama in the hills of Tibet, How many monks did the Chinese get? In a war-torn swamp stop any mercenary, 'N' check the British bullets in his armoury Que? B6 A6 B6 ESandinista!

William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres
With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him
And high office relations in the politics of Maryland,
Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling,
In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears...(words and music; Bob Dylan)

LONDON - British Airways resumed hundreds of flights Saturday at one of the world’s busiest airports, while pleading for continued patience from thousands of passengers stranded by a ground-crew walkout.

The strike was triggered by a dispute between catering staff and the U.S.-owned firm Gate Gourmet, which provides onboard meals for British Airways.

The union representing the catering company’s workers said 800 staff were fired Wednesday after an unofficial walkout. The company said 667 workers had been dismissed.

BA baggage handlers and loaders represented by the same union — the Transport and General Workers’ Union — stopped work in sympathy with their colleagues.

As talks continued, flights operating Saturday had only limited catering, and passengers were being given food parcels to take onboard and food vouchers to buy snacks before boarding.

MINNEAPOLIS - Northwest Airlines jets roared into the sky over the heads of striking mechanics Saturday as the nation's fourth-largest carrier turned over its maintenance to replacement workers on Day 1 of the industry's first major walkout in seven years.

Saturday afternoon, Northwest was already facing at least one maintenance job: A jet landing in Detroit blew out four tires on the runway. No injuries were reported, and the airline said the cause was likely "an anti-skid braking issue" that had nothing to do with the strike.

Northwest's union mechanics walked out rather than take pay cuts and layoffs that would reduce their ranks almost by half. They don't believe replacement workers will be able to maintain the fleet, the oldest among domestic airlines.

Earlier Saturday, Northwest Vice President of Operations Andy Roberts apologized to travelers inconvenienced by what he described as a union slowdown Friday. He said the backlog of minor maintenance issues would be cleared up during the weekend.

"We certainly don't expect delays to increase," Roberts said. "As we work through these maintenance writeups, the operation should continue to improve."

Associated Press writer Bree Fowler in Romulus, Mich., contributed to this report.
