The video is a masterpiece, artistic satire, social commentary and also fun, funny and just plain pretty to watch...and the music? It will be hip as long as people understand the term. What a generation, what a time it was.
That's the video in what Rick Moranis saw a geek guy like his persona. After this. he invite himself to the Dan's next clip with a geek. Totally fine.
I remember we were expecting real war when this came over the air. I thought to myself, how can they bomb us when we have wonderful people making great music like this. So far so good! keep your fingers crossed for luck. ::)
28 years... 28 freaking years and this song stands the test of time. The music of today is REALLY bad. Lady dohickey and Justin Fever beiber whatever?? Really?? will ANYBODY remember them in 28 years?? Wanna bet??? GREAT song..EVEN better ALBUM..thanks for posting!!!!!!
Every thing seemed to be so simple the year this song was released,family,friends,and life.I love this song, Iwas seven the first time I heard it and every time I hear it,it makes me smile thank you whoever uploaded this video
sorry lads this is pure 50's ... not a thing like the grease song ... its pure & innocent .. not a lot of songs can claim that ..even with ambush and a french pleat ?
I love this song, but its subject matter has always reminded me of the similar subject matter in a song from "Grease II", namely the track, "Let's Do it For Our Country", which also takes place in a bomb shelter.
Fagan's genius--lyrics are satirical, funny, true to the time. Music itself is classic Steely Dan--clean, jazzy and crafted. The whole album is tremendous and this is the original video from the early 80s
After BOTTSRGEDDON, we will be partying in a bomb shelter
BOTTSRGEDDON 3 weeks ago in playlist Favorite videos

I watched this video there's 27 years ago. It was a relief for the french teenager that I was, asking himself about the consequences of a real war.
Always a relief 27 years after...
It has aged well...

@larryclone Well, if you ever get a chance to find it on either Steely Dan's or Donald Fagen's CD, will you down
loaded if you can? I'm almost thought that this was Sting's voice. Like Wang Chong or something like that. Steely
does has a pretty voice.
