Enola gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday
Aha words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied
These games you play, they're gonna end in more than tears someday
Aha enola gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
Its 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away
Enola gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
Aha enola gay, it shouldn't fade in our dreams away
Its 8:15, and thats the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give, its never ever gonna fade away
The next oldie I like is from the Boomtown Rats, "I Don't Like Mondays." From the Wiki article:
Geldof wrote the song after reading a telex report at Georgia State University's campus radio station, WRAS, on the shooting spree of 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, who fired at children playing in a school playground across the street from her home in San Diego, California. She killed two adults and injured eight children and one police officer. Spencer showed no remorse for her crime, and her full explanation for her actions was "I don't like Mondays, this livens up the day."Columbine has become iconic for schools shootings, but while it's often described as the first, it most certainly wasn't.
The above video is just a still picture; the original video I remember has embedding disabled, but can be viewed at the YT site.
And finally, another synth-pop guilty pleasure, A Flock of Seagulls, "Wishing." I never got their style choices, but I like a lot of their music; I suspect they'll show up again in this series
