Cold War, Hot Songs: The Best Music To Emerge From The Fear Of Nuclear War

Back around the time of International Day Against Nuclear Tests I dug deep into the recesses of my Cold War fears to create a list of primarily ’80s-based we’re-all-going-to-die-in-a-nuclear-explosion songs.

There are tunes from Scorpions, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Elton John, Sting and more. Basically, every huge act from that time period had a Cold War song.

Nowadays all the huge acts have Beats Pill product placements in their videos. This is why we hate you Gen Y.

Awhile back Sarah spoke to ’80s heartthrob Corey Hart and the “Never Surrender” singer told her a story about a missed opportunity to record with Bonnie Tyler.

He wants to make up for it now, though, and is hoping they can revisit the idea. If it happens it could result in the fist-pump karaoke ballad ever recorded.
