The Day Before They Blew Up The World

[hooper]

Theme for a non-existent TV Series: The fragile peace propped up by the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction lasted for several decades. Theoretically this plan would hold off the unthinkable; an all-out nuclear war.  This story is about the day before the unthinkable finally happened...

The Day Before They Blew Up The World

by Ken Lowry

Didn't you know 'till now,
Today when you woke up again?
Were you surprised to find,
The situation so out of hand?

Look a little bit closer,
Toss it up and give it a whirl.
Nothing to gain, understand or explain,
The day before they blew up the world.

Nothing to gain, understand or explain,
The day before they blew up the world...

This is a cool song for the Fest. Short, sweet and to the point. Reminds me a little of Graham Nash's style. Excellent vocals. Well done Hooper!

Hi hooper,
Love the song.
Very short to my expectation.
Well done.

Clever response to this assignment.  Nice little story, catchy melody, very well played and sung.

Watch out, Hollywood may pick up on the idea.  Each episode a different life story.

By the way, there is a movie called "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" which I like a lot.
 Great sound track.

Whoops, getting to this one late - definitely a catchy little ditty. And brief, as you'd expect for a television theme.

Nice one, hooper!

I love the theme and the concept. Would be really interesting if every episode featured different characters in different places (different countries, cultures, languages, etc.) responding to the events as the clock ticked towards "midnight."
