| Zep | Posted: Mar 07, 2008 - 10:34 Love the "duck and cover" sampling. You young'uns don't remember that, we had to practice that drill in school. If the big one comes down, duck under your desk and cover your head. Like a little school desk will protect you from Mr H Bomb eh? But that's how it was, we were supposed to prepare for it by knowing what to do when it fell. Kind of depressing to think about today, that in that era, our gov was preparing for the response as opposed top preventing the damn thing in the first place. But I digress. Go U-Tube "duck and cover" and there are some of the cutesy animated 50s videos out there, complete with the comforting voice over. |

 Destroyed? Ouch! But I'll go along with IGNORED. |
| Euphemism (Jax, FL) | Posted: Jan 12, 2004 - 05:58 About halfway through this song, I began to hallucinate my skull was being used as the rhythm section for this song. I admit, there's a time for 'clever'. Mexican Radio is clever. Frontier Psychiatry is clever. This song isn't clever. It's 'my God, what is that THING?'. There is never time for that. |

I did too, until the same lyric was repeated countless times with no variation whatsoever and then it became annoying FAST! |
| Moonbmr72 (Somewhere between here and there.) | Posted: Dec 12, 2003 - 10:47 Very bizzare. I kinda like it. |

| PattonFever (tripoli) | Posted: Nov 11, 2003 - 11:48 awesome. :nodhead: |
| stratplans | Posted: Oct 22, 2003 - 19:51 Is that a sample of Johnny Carson doing the "duck and cover" intro? |
| stripes | Posted: Oct 01, 2003 - 11:15 uh, yeah.. this "song" has a major suck factor to it. :puke: |

| mitraz (Saint Cloud, MN) | Posted: Jul 23, 2003 - 18:22 Though I can understand Urdu a bit this sounds so damn boring and gets played too much on RP :( |
| avani (Claremont, CA) | Posted: Jul 23, 2003 - 18:18 Random and wierd. Yummy. :) |
| basstooner (Washington, DC) | Posted: Jul 03, 2003 - 07:27 Boorrrring! |
| Pipes (Murray, UT) | Posted: Jun 30, 2003 - 05:50 Needs to be played earlier in the morning. You know, when most sane people are asleep!  |
| anonymous (Isle of Man, UK) | Posted: Jun 30, 2003 - 05:49 Truly different - and for that reason alone, it's great!!  |
| TreborG2 (VA - somewhere east of paradise) | Posted: Jun 12, 2003 - 22:15 disorienting alrighty.... not as good as other stuff.. but diverse... still diverse... |

| series (Secret Hideaway (USA)) | Posted: Jun 09, 2003 - 20:02 This is cool.. I like the sort of rasta-beat. |
| Ferret (Bristol, TN) | Posted: Jun 02, 2003 - 17:43 uh... really wasn't expecting this thing... :???: |
| mangialone (Denver, CO) | Posted: May 30, 2003 - 15:08 Take the atomic bomb and destroy this song. |
| Wailer (Canada) | Posted: May 28, 2003 - 11:04 Fantastic tune!!!!! |
| halcatus (Los Angeles, CA) | Posted: May 23, 2003 - 13:17 I think sliced bread.... Then this...... Wow... whatta sound... ... hey... can I give a twenty? |
| grizzly_anderson (Denver, CO) | Posted: May 23, 2003 - 13:16 not something I can listen to too often, but fairly humorous, considering how many times I had to watch that d*mn public service movie at assembly in elementary school... |
| ragu (Canada) | Posted: May 13, 2003 - 09:05 Terrible...bleh |
| ediTed (Phoenix, AZ) | Posted: May 13, 2003 - 08:26 DisOriented mo like it... Muzac at best |
| skindy (Albany, NY) | Posted: May 13, 2003 - 08:26 I really dig this! Wherever did you find this, Bill? |
| justlistening (Irvine, CA) | Posted: Apr 02, 2003 - 13:43 fizzle, lose steam, fade out of focus of attention. |
| dugjohnson (Brooklyn Hts, OH) | Posted: Mar 30, 2003 - 11:16 The song started out in an interesting direction, then wandered around in a circle, fell on the floor, quivered twice and died quietly. Either I don't get it :???: or it just wasn't that great. |
| cobbler (Montreal) | Posted: Mar 09, 2003 - 13:55 Loved the tune so much I bought the CD and heard it again. The lyrics (translated on the CD) and samples used are as relevant today as they were during the cold war. I think that the tune is a stoke of genius and the beat is totally addictive! |

| Art_Carnage (Secret Hideaway (USA)) | Posted: Mar 02, 2003 - 23:31 A great song to follow up "War". Makes me want to spin up my laserdisc copy of "Atomic Cafe". |
| AuralSects (Dallas, TX) | Posted: Feb 26, 2003 - 20:30 groovy mon |

| rolokan (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Feb 10, 2003 - 13:17 boy this DJ lives up to his name. can't say I am enjoying this one |
| jpfueler (Kenner, LA) | Posted: Feb 07, 2003 - 10:29 of course if you grew up where I did,(near an Air Force base and iron ore shipping) Duck and Cover just made a more compact pile of ashes! Would that be an Occidental death or injury? |
| trapnine (San Marcos, CA) | Posted: Feb 05, 2003 - 16:19 Nice beat! Duck and Cover! |
