Thanks Tom for watching and listening to my video and providing feedback!
It was inspired by my experiences as a school kid in the 1960s when we indeed did nuclear war drills in the classroom. In the 1980s I worked in the "nuclear freeze" movement while treaties were being negotiated.
I had the idea for the song in 2018 because I was concerned with the increased sense of danger. The Doomsday Clock moved closer to midnight in recent years.
Obviously I tried to put a humorous spin on this with the perky music and animated video. I figure either the world will end soon and the video won't matter, or maybe people will wake up and we can stop it from happening.
Agreed that sync potential is limited, but in my fantasy world David Crosby and Steely Dan collaborate to do a cover!
BTW there are two videos that I used as a reference for the animation style:
Tom Petty home demo You Don't Know How It Feels
