Please enjoy jwz mixtape 258.

Because of the recent unpleasantness, here's a mixtape of songs about nuclear war!

This idea popped into my head while I was standing at the bar last night and I thought, "Yeah, I probably have enough videos for that" and started writing down song names... 10 minutes later I had more than 2 hours worth.

it’s an article of faith among the UK #TOTP crew that songs from the seventies and eighties were about either nuclear war or anal sex.

@ilmari I despise comedy music in general and folk music in particular.

Another suggestion: Righeira - Vamos A La Playa.

South European early 80s disco with atomic lyrics. Quotes from critics:

"one of the bleakest hits to ever soundtrack a summer"

β€œVamos a la playa" is "one of the most cynical summer tunes ever"

β€œit is a miracle that this melancholy vision of fear became a worldwide hit"
