The Fallout Wiki has a pretty good entry on them. Doesn’t sound like any of their songs ever quite broke the Top 100. Can’t find any mention of “Atom Bomb Baby” that doesn’t redirect to Fallout 4.
In terms of contemporary pop songs that use imagery of nuclear war, The Postal Service’s We Will Become Silhouettes reached 82 on Billboard in 2005. Good song that gets a lot of mileage out of the incongruity of the poppy tune with the gruesome lyrics.
Not popular culture, but I have a story of an amusing anachronism I experienced that I remembered when I read the title.
A few years ago my friend and I took our kids to an air show that featured old WWII bombers and also had a WWII battle recreation on the ground, with Sherman tanks, armored personnel carriers and actors/extras in authentic period uniforms. We managed to get fairly close to the action, and from where we were it appeared pretty authentic. I had an SLR camera with a 400x lens, so I got some nice closeups.
When I was looking at the pics I took on my computer later, one of the shots of soldiers in an open personnel carrier clearly showed two of the “WWII soldiers” viewing/texting on their phones in the heat of the “battle”. I guess you just can’t get good extras these days :rolleyes:
How did Dion get away with complaining about that slut, Sue?
