These ranged from criticism to outspoken support, and varied in tone from very serious to rather silly and light-hearted. Here, we have collected some old-timey and some more recent nuclear themed songs which tend to err on the sillier side. Genres include vintage, pop, rap, opera, and even a Christmas song.
