Well, It wasn't Washington DC that inspired the writing of the Star Spangled Banner by Walter Scott Key. That was Baltimore. I think you were thinking of that when you asked the question. You have your cities mixed up.

It wasn't the The Star-Spangled Banner.

This information is from the Smithsonian.
Quick Facts about the Star-Spangled Banner.
Raised over Fort McHenry on the morning of September 14, 1814, to signal American victory over the British in the Battle of Baltimore; the sight inspired Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner”

Do you people really like history?! I absolutely hate it. The only thing I like about history is our teacher because he's really funny but we're getting a new teacher soon anyway. I just find it insanely boring. And yes, I prefer maths to history. All my friends are doing history for their exams, I seem to be the only one who isn't. I know some people might find it interesting, but I'm definitely not one of those people :)

The British burned down the White House during the war of 1812 so I guess the song was BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE!!!!!
