Here's a song in that genre that I wrote.  It is to the tune of The Seekers' song, "Morningtown Ride."H-Bombs exploding make a dreadful noise.Deep down in their shelters are all the girls and boys.Our ICBM's take off, turning night to day,For the Soviet Union many miles away.You may hear a siren, a whistle or a bell;Which means that in four minutes, we'll all be blown to Hell.Our missiles have reached apogee, heading on their wayTo the Soviet Union many miles away.Maybe it is snowing where the missiles fall,When the warheads detonate, it won't matter at all.In Leningrad or Moscow; Tashkent or Dushanbe,In the Soviet Union many miles away.

THE BUTTON PUSHERChorus [before each verse, first time starting without "Well"]Well I am the man, the well-fed man, in charge of the terrible knob,The most pleasing thing about it, it's almost a permanent job,When the atom war is over, and the world is split in three, A consolation I got, well maybe it's not, there'll be nobody left but me.I sit at my desk in Washington in charge of this great machineMore vicious than Adolf Hitler, more deadly than strichnineAnd in the evening after a tiring day just to give myself a laughI hit the button a playful belt and I listen for the blastIf Breshniev starts his nonsense, and makes a nasty spellWith a wink and a nod from Nixon, I'll blast them all to hellAnd as for that Fidel Castro, him with the sugar cane,He needn't hide behind his whiskers, I'll get him just the same. If my wife denies me conjugular rights or my breakfast milk is sourFrom eight to nine in the morning you're in for a nervous hour, The button being so terribly close it's really a dreadful jokeAbut with my arse, as I go past, and we'll all go up in smoke. Now I'm thinking of joining the army, the army that bans the bombWe'll take up a large collection, and I'll donate my thumb,For without it, I am helpless, and that's the way to beYou don't have to kill the whole bloody lot to make the people free.

hahaha I love this song, it practically screams stupidity behind the idea of war and nuclear warfare. It points out that war is simply the idea of killing people because you don't like where they live or what country they are serving for..." Freedom is not a choice as much as it is a gift, war usually does not protect freedom as much as it rots the bare skin around the fruit that is liberty." --- Albert Einstein

I'd like to dedicate this one to all the heroic, brave men and women in Washington, London and Tel Aviv who defend our freedom and safety.

Epic song, didn't know this one yet. And of somehow sad actuality. Should be sung with Obama and Putin now instead of Nixon and Breshnew.

Written by Enoch Kent, a Scottish born singer songwriter long since resident in Canada.

Did he write this one himself? It sounds like Luke's political schpeel.
