Do you know any songs which are directly related to the Cold War?
I can only think of two:

Gary Moore - Nuclear Ataack

and

Billy Joel - Leningrad.

More of them out there?

I don't know about that but these are 2 of my favourite musicians. ;)

PS. I'm sure John Lennon must have done something.

How about "Back in the USSR". The Beatles skit on the Beach Boys. I always liked that. ;)

There must be loads. If I didn't know better then I would say The Wall. But I do know better, and thats got nothing to do with the Cold war.

I didn't hear the whole song but...I think "1999" from "Prince" is a cold war song. The words is something about dancing all night untill a bomb falls over my head.

sorry,not the songs,in which just one line refers to the war. the whole song has to be about it.

The Pathfinder where you have to go blow up the Shilka's and take the village. I've got the sniper rifle and I always kill off all the guys in the second vilage but not before they kill all my troops and then I can't win when they are all dead. >:( >:( >:(

Edit: Never mind. Nothing a few stolen RPG's wont fix. ;D
