scissor shock - what the world needs right now is peace, love, and jazz noise
scissor shock - thermonuclear puree
ruinhorse - meltdown boogie

the weirdos - we got the neutron bomb

where's duran "easy as a nuclear war" duran?

i never knew what 99 luftballoons was about, but i just bought that lp last weekend. had to vote for einstein a-go go, one of the greatest ever, also enola gay is just as good.

Nuclear war? Yeeeah
Nuclear war? Yeeeah
Talkin about? Yeeeah
Nuclear war? Yeeeah

But it's a motherfucker, don't you know, if they push that button your ass gotta go!

"Everyday is like Sunday" by the Moz. Not so much about nuclear war, but about wishing for nuclear war. Still...

"What Goes Around...Comes Around" By Justin Timberlake.

How clever to disguise a song about the nuclear holocaust as a sappy pop song about a lover wronged.

it's on (ugh) Dirty Work

Back to Zero
(m. jagger/k. richards)

Back to zero
So you wanna blow us all to pieces
Go meet your maker,
head hung down
And give him all your explanations
Go ahead, throw down

Back to zero,
back to nothing
Straight to meltdown,
back to zero
That’s where we’re heading

It’s a monkey living on my back
I can feel my spine begin to crack
I’m looking to the future
I keep on glancing back
I prefer to rot
I don’t want to pop

I think I’ll head back to the jungle, alright
Don’t want to see no big bad rumble,
Back to zero,
that’s where we’re going
Back to nothing,
right now, right now

No heroes?
no more heroes
Back to meltdown
That’s where I’m going,
back to zero

My whole life is hanging on a thread
I’m the fly inside the spider’s web
I’m looking to the future
I keep on glancing back
I prefer to rot
I don’t want to pop

I worry about my great-grandchildren
Living ten miles beneath the ground
I worry about their whole existence
The whole damn thing’s in doubt

Back to zero,
that’s where we’re going
Back to nothing,
that’s where we’re heading
Straight to meltdown,
that’s where we’re going
Back to zero, right now,
right now
We’re going nowhere
Right now,
right now
Back to zero,
that’s where we’re heading
Back to zero

"Two Tribes" by (ugh) Frankie Goes to Hollywood too...about the "cold war" as well, I suppose.

obviously nena takes this but may i just say how great a thread title this is.
