Atom bomb baby, little atom bomb
I want her in my wigwam
She's just the way I want her to be
A million times hotter than TNT

Your clothes look like a sack to me
And your hair, your hair is gettin’ thin
But I thought I saw when you came back to me
That it had cleared up your skin!

So wo wo, hold me close my darling
‘Cause I know what you’ve got
My Geiger counter, dear
Tells me that you’re hot, ha ha
You’re my radiation baby
You’re my teenage fallout quee hee hee hee

Where you left it in the pa aa aa aa ark
Now when it’s on your finger dear
It glow wo wo wo wo wo wos in the dark

i wrote a song a few years back called "Sweethearts of the Fallout" set in an alternative universe where the bomb did happen some time in the late '70s, but by the 00's the kids decide they're gonna have a fallout revival and start fetishising it in a retro way while their parents roll their eyes.

Haha, been youtubing a bunch of these all day today after you mentioned it last night, Mordy. Love it so much.

The spoken word stuff is incredible too like Groucho Marx's "Civil Defense Spot: Excellent Chances" about how if you prepare, you and your loved ones too can survive the bomb drop!

Well when she told me that she loved me for the rest of her days
Her words banished all my fears
‘Cause her half-life is 4.67
Times 10 to the 9th power here

Yes, and she's my fallout filly
With the atomic kiss, yea-hah!
So we'll hole up together
In a shelter of eternal bliss
