Love the "duck and cover" sampling. You young'uns don't remember that, we had to practice that drill in school. If the big one comes down, duck under your desk and cover your head. Like a little school desk will protect you from Mr H Bomb eh? But that's how it was, we were supposed to prepare for it by knowing what to do when it fell. Kind of depressing to think about today, that in that era, our gov was preparing for the response as opposed top preventing the damn thing in the first place.
But I digress. Go U-Tube "duck and cover" and there are some of the cutesy animated 50s videos out there, complete with the comforting voice over.

There are too many aging rock fans on this forum! If the tune doesn't sound like rock then they get all confused and the alzheimer kicks in. I think this one is brilliant.

About halfway through this song, I began to hallucinate my skull was being used as the rhythm section for this song.
I admit, there's a time for 'clever'. Mexican Radio is clever. Frontier Psychiatry is clever. This song isn't clever. It's 'my God, what is that THING?'.
There is never time for that.
annoying cacophony.......

I did too, until the same lyric was repeated countless times with no variation whatsoever and then it became annoying FAST!

Is that a sample of Johnny Carson doing the "duck and cover" intro?
uh, yeah.. this "song" has a major suck factor to it.

I think sliced bread....
Then this......
Wow... whatta sound...
... hey... can I give a twenty?
not something I can listen to too often, but fairly humorous, considering how many times I had to watch that d*mn public service movie at assembly in elementary school...
DisOriented mo like it...
Muzac at best
I really dig this! Wherever did you find this, Bill?
fizzle, lose steam, fade out of focus of attention.
The song started out in an interesting direction, then wandered around in a circle, fell on the floor, quivered twice and died quietly. Either I don\'t get it or it just wasn\'t that great.
Loved the tune so much I bought the CD and heard it again. The lyrics (translated on the CD) and samples used are as relevant today as they were during the cold war. I think that the tune is a stoke of genius and the beat is totally addictive!

now that's saying something!
A great song to follow up \"War\". Makes me want to spin up my laserdisc copy of \"Atomic Cafe\".
groovy mon
this is worse than baz luhrman... terrible!
boy this DJ lives up to his name.
can\'t say I am enjoying this one
of course if you grew up where I did,(near an Air Force base and iron ore shipping) Duck and Cover just made a more compact pile of ashes!
Would that be an Occidental death or injury?
Nice beat! Duck and Cover!
