[amej @23
I have been vainly trying to track down a song I heard in the 70s; a story involving a male GI and a Russian female in the military. It included the line:
"that's a vile violation of my airspace".
You can probably imagine the context!]

chrise@25: I googled and got just one hit. But it led to some kind of "Politically incorrect songs" thread on a discussion forum, containing the following post:

Leon Rosselson's "Vile Violation", written about the Russians squealing about the U-2 incident in 1960, is not sung much these days, pehaps because of its sustained metaphor of rape:

As I flew out one morning on a trip to reconnointre
Through wind and weather carelessly I flew,
I spied a pleasing prospect that tempted me to loiter,
And moved in closer for a better view.

It's a vile violation of my airspace,
And I warn the intruder to withdraw,
It's a vile violation of my airspace,
Such aggr[e]ssive acts can only lead to war.
