Remembered another one: "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats (don't 
know how I forgot this one):

     The Telex machine is kept so clean
     And it types to a waiting world

The back-story is that she went postal in her school, and her excuse when 
she was collared was "I don't like Mondays"; sigh...

It was about the 1979 Cleveland Elementary School shooting in San Diego.
