i believe the jacket and covering your head was actually an attempt to cover your eyes so you are not blinded by the flash there was no illusion that it was going to save you only prevent blindness

Well done! That video fit the song so well that I'll likely associate the two from here on in. I hadn't really thought of it before, but the lyrics seem like a reflection of the uncritically supportive attitude that certain Cold Warriors/sci-fi authors/protonerds expressed for nuclear armament back in the days of this video. If that's the case, good catch on juxtaposing the two.

No one will care, but I should qualify that insane opinion now that I have seen it again. I meant that it reflected an overall attitude (like those Robert Heinlein heroes who break into slinging math at each other in the middle of talking, dancing, dinner, and sex) of empiricism standing in for empathy and intuition and so forth, not specifically that towards mutually assured destruction.

turn away.... think that is what they want us to do when there is any trouble in our system. I am however ure that placing the hands over the head will save you from the blast.

Ok person above me just wrote the same thing pretty much i just read it. I am posting this any way...

Wow! I'm gonna put a jacket over my head to stop being annihilated by a nuclear blast! That'll work! Great song.

@binarynightmare I think it was actually so you didn't go blind...
