I think the Ink Spots version is in a couple of dystopic video games now, providing some irony.

  • I just meant the song was used ironically as a literary device. The game depicts a world that has been all but destroyed, and the lyrics of the song say "I don't want to set the world on fire.." In dramatic irony the audience knows this context, but the singer of the song doesn't, thereby creating a kind of dark humor.

  • everytime i hear this song, i think about MEGADETH. haha.
