Gary Moore, probably best known as a Thin Lizzy guitarist, had a solo hit in the UK with Nuclear Attack. Included the lyric ‘There ain’t no coming back… From a nuclear attack.’
Both these songs don’t quite fit the thread, but are close enough IMHO, and I’ll probably never get another chance to share a couple of my favourite songs.
Kiwi classic reggae band Herbs with “Nuclear Waste.”
A song about the chemical spill at Bhopal by Tim Finn.

Back in the 80s the UK government came out with a leaflet called “Protect and Survive” which was full of completely inadequate advice about what to do in the event of a nuclear war (like hide under a desk - as if that’s going to help). The Dubliners came out with a great piss take song about it:-
Eurythmics’ “Adrian” less blatant, but of the period. The lyric sheet with my copy of the album says they sing, “new clear morning,” but it sure sounds like “nuclear morning.”
California by Aussie band Flash and the Pan featuring Malcolm and Angus Young’s older brother George with Harry Vanda. It’s about the accidental destruction of California by an angry US officer.
Both these songs don’t quite fit the thread, but are close enough IMHO, and I’ll probably never get another chance to share a couple of my favourite songs.

*Pound that kid into submission
'Till he’s mastered Nuclear Fission
Buy him plastic warheads by the score,
Once he’s got the taste of blood,
He’s gonna sneak up on his buddies
Starting his own thermo-nuclear war.
Does “I’ll Melt With You” by Modern English count? It is about being with the person you love while a nuclear attack is occurring, or something to that effect?
