This sticks out in my mind as a Eurovision entry in the eighties I think when Norway, possibly Finland ended up with no points in successive years. I'm sure this was the case but haven't found substantive evidence on Google yet. It was done in a hard rock style and basically translated as Neutron Bombing. I can't remember lyrics etc, they were in Norwegian. I've compiled a list on Last.fm based on your entries, only the ones I thought I'd like to hear: http://www.last.fm/user/pogopatterson/library/playlists/3pny3_nuclear_winter

A blinding light and firestorms agonished dying Never never never again Never never never again Unanswered cries of help panic and desperation Dazed and stricken survivors Search for lost families Chocking dust crazy with thirst Drinking from poisoned pools and streams.

the mistakes of the struggling survivors of a global nuclear shambles was a theme common to donald fagen/steely dan- like in "king of the world,"(1973) "black friday"(1975) "the last mall"(2003)and this tune from fagen's 1982 solo album "the nightfly." story: randy teenage geek lures class babe into his father's bomb shelter-which becomes their own private party house. rife with stunning animation done in fifties-retro style, the video for this song has been called "the greatest video ever made" by rolling stone."

From Paul Hardcastles CLASSIC 1988 album "No Winners" which was ENTIRELY on the subject of nuclear war. The biggest hit single from the album was "40 years", and the whole album included sung lyrics and powerful speech / sound samples on the subject. This album is a MUST for anyone interested in the subject.

The titles are quite evident. GISM was a Japanese band from the 80's with a savage vocalist (Sakevi) who often attacked audience members with chainsaws, blowtorches, mic-stands and chairs. He also was also the star of a short Japanese art film Titled Geotropism, which featured atomic bomb imagery that makes the entire film Bladerunner look cheerful. GISM made Venom sound like Ashlee Simpson, Sakevi's vocals alone were more horrorific then the cookie monster vocals found in many American bands like Slayer who can't even touch on the otherworldly sounds Sakevi makes. Sakevi seems to have been obsessed with nuclear war, nearly all of the albums he has worked on have ether war imagery or atomic imagery. I also believe that "Document one" a track from the first GISM LP Detestation was quite possibly the single most powerful song about war ever written. Other tracks on the LP include "Nuclear Armed Hogs" "Death Agonies and Screams" "Endless Blockades for the pussyfooter" and the infamous non-nuke song "Tear their Syphlitic Vaginas to Pieces." Sakevi has released a solo CD single this year titled "The War".

Chorus includes the line "you can never come back from a Nuclear Attack". On various Gary Moore albums before he became a blues master.

I'm a Nuclear Boy living in a Nuclear World...

First and last men walk this earth But only a few survive I'm the wizard of aus And I've got it all planned For my first nuclear device I don't really care which way you vote 'Cos my gerrymander works out fine I sell desert stretches like a big rubber glove To Japan for a nuclear device Nuclear device Nuclear device Nuclear device If I could get lucky I'd secede from the states I'd buy the country at an incredible rate Brisbane men stay at home at night 'Cos I outlawed all of the vice I'm the wizard of aus And I've rolled the streets Dreaming of a nuclear device

'Nuclear Holocaust' was a favorite old school rap beat I recall from the breakdance era (eighties), featuring the lyrics : "nuclear holocaust, it's a cryin' shame; nuclear holocaust, who the hell made up this game?". The Future's main artist was Michael Jonzun from the Jonzun Crew (Space Cowboy, Pac Jam, et al)

Great tune, I was under the impression it was by Bob Marley. I'll let you know if I can transcribe it.

Thatz what I am tryin to find out !! PS: Just downloaded it from emusic.com

1982 classic from the great jazz improvisationalist, recently revived by Yo La Tengo. Lyrics (here's all the lines, they're all repeated a lot, and most of them are call-and-response): Nuclear war. Nuclear war. They're talkin' about Nuclear war. It's a motherfucker, don't you know? If they push that button your ass got to go. Gonna blast you So high in the sky. You can kiss your ass Goodbye, goodbye. Radiation, Mutation. Fire. Hydrogen bombs, Atomic bombs. (Tell 'em about it, Tyrone...) What you gonna do, Without your ass? Melting... People... Buildings... Burnt grass... Farewell. Goodbye, ass.

The lyrics go "Nuclear War, Nuclear War Talking About Nuclear War it's a motherf***er don't you know if they push that button your arse gotta go" etc.

from the album "War and Pain" 1984 Fast and pure desolation Lust the blood in my brain Hard and dry destruction Wet under the neutron rain Die in this Holocaust Scream the deflect attack Burn before we reload Strees before... The power blast WAR! A command for blood We scream DIE! Nothing less than death we creep Storm the only weather Start the directives assassins Warm inside the under shelter Wait and fell your broiling skin Hot oz one disappear Blight in the atomic detention Rats it's a survival breed Destroy with deflagration I have one track it's to kill You'll never stop me Running my evil way With radioactivity My machine comes at night Missiles they stike Save your life in the dark For the loud attack Hey! nuclear war! I'm realy up tonite For my last ride Never returning at home I'm gonna die The war machine is not save And i can't escape When the bombs will hit My face, It will drive me insan

Nuclear war (yeah) Nuclear war (yeah) Talkin about (yeah) Nuclear War (yeah) It's a motherfucker, don't you know. If they push that button, your ass gotta go.
