O65 wasn't explicit but from his examples, "train" or a variant should be in the song title.

Remember, gang, that "train" has more than one meaning so while they don't adhere to the spirit of this Thread, any songs about corporate/business or athletic training would qualify as long as train was in the title. None come to mind...
