Joan Jett and the Blackhearts had a song called "Cherry Bomb," the title
referring to the explosive sexual potential of pubescent girls:

Hi, Dad! hi, Mom!
I'm you ch-ch-ch-ch=ch-ch- CHERRY BOMB!

How about 'Eve of Destruction' by Barry McGuire? It has the explosion
theme going for it.


The eastern world it is explodin'
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin'
And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

How about "Bomb" by Bush?

I wanted to buy you shiny red things
Thought I'd be with you until the end
How did I know that I wouldn't be there
Blow me away see if I...

Goodbye future
Goodbye to my friends
Wish I could see you all again
Family hollow
Family real
Wish you were here
To see how I feel

Kill a man
Kill a girl
Kill a man
Kill a girl

Jekell in you brings out the wired in me
I've got no defense, I'm all that you see
The night is a bomb blast
The night is on fire
Sing with me in a gasoline choir

Kill a man
Kill a girl
Kill a man
Kill a girl
I killed a man
I killed a man
I killed a man
I killed a man

They say you want to change our minds
I've paid for your beliefs with mine
With all the lies you've said in time
You've stooped so low you'll never rise

The Cranberries song is called "Zombie" and mentions
something about bombs.

I remember a song from the early 80's called "Rock
the Casbah", don't know who it's by. I thought it
mentioned something about bombs, I know it mentioned
something about jet fighters.

This one is "Steamroller" also known as "Steamroller Blues."
Here it is:

STEAMROLLER
Words and music by James Taylor

I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm gonna roll all over you
I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm gonna roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul
With sweet rock n' roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues

I'm a cement mixer
a churning urn of burning funk
I'm a cement mixer
a churning urn of burning funk
I'm a demolition derby, baby.
A hefty hunk of steaming junk

I'm a napalm bomb, baby
I'm guaranteed to blow your mind
I'm a napalm bomb, baby
I'm guaranteed to blow your mind
And if I can't have your love for my own
There won't be nothing left behind.

Is this the one with the lyric:

"...for man's been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud
and we know for certain that some lovely day
someone will set the spark off, and we will all be blown away." ??

Flanders & Swann had a song that I don't think actually used the word
"bomb" but was called "20 tons of TNT", based on the total yield of
the nuclear stockpile averaged for every person on the planet
(mid 60s vintage of course!)

"Forever Young" by Alphaville also contains the lyrics

"Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?"

another Clash song:

Spanish Bombs

Spanish songs in Andalucia
The shooting sites in the days of '39
Oh, please, leave the vendanna open
Fredrico Lorca is dead and gone
Bullet holes in the cemetery walls
The black cars of the Guardia Civil
Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica
I'm flying in a DC 10 tonight

CHORUS
Spanish bombs, yo tequierro y finito
Yote querda, oh mi corazon
Spanish bombs, yo te quierro y finito
Yo te querda, oh mi corazon

Spanish weeks in my disco casino
The freedom fighters died upon the hill
They sang the red flag
They wore the black one
But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill
Back home the buses went up in flashes
The Irish tomb was drenched in blood
Spanish bombs shatter the hotels
My senorita's rose was nipped in the bud

CHORUS

The hillsides ring with "Free the people"
Or can I hear the echo from the days of '39?
With trenches full of poets
The ragged army, fixin' bayonets to fight the other line
Spanish bombs rock the province
I'm hearing music from another time
Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava
I'm flying in on a DC 10 tonight
Spanish songs in Andalucia, Mandolina, oh mi corazon
Spanish songs in Granada, oh mi corazon

The first line of Pink Floyd's song "Mother" from The Wall is "Mother
do you think they'll drop the bomb."

Also from the Floyd, but not actually saying "bomb" is "Two Suns in
the Sunset" from The Final Cut. A good "bomb" song.

Finally, Roger Waters' Radio KAOS has a song call "Four Minutes" that
has some spoken word done by DJ Jim Ladd. It's comes after Jim learns
that nuclear warheads are on their way. He's making best use of the
time remaining and says, "It's a beautiful, balmy, southern California
summer day. It's 80 degrees ... I said balmy ... I could say bomby
(laughs)."

Well, there is another I can think of. The Star Spangled Banner.

First it was the BOMB.

By whom?? -- Guess...

(hint: It didn't get much airplay)
(hint 2 -- probably the most anti-drug song released by a recognized group
on an album)
