During the early 1980s, escalating Cold War tensions caused thoughts of nuclear annihilation to reenter the public’s minds. Enter: “Nuku Pommiin” (lit. Sleep Until the Bomb). The 1982 Finnish Eurovision entry suggests, somewhat satirically, that the best way to avoid a nuclear blast is to sleep through it.

Woo, more posts! Good to see some activity again.
Two more cheerful nuke songs: 99 Luftballoons, of course, and
PUSH THE BUTTON!
I love both of those songs.
What on earth prompted this as the first category, by the way? Did you just wanna start off. . . WITH A BANG?
