During the early 1980s, pop musicians spent a lot of time worrying about the possibility of WWIII.

99 Luftballoons--Nena
Soviet Snow--Shona Laing
Stand Or Fall--the Fixx
Two Tribes--Frankie Goes To Hollywood
It's a Mistake--Men At Work
Russians--Sting
Ronnie Talk To Russia--Prince
Eve Of Destruction--Red Rockers (cover version)
Ivan Meets G.I. Joe--Clash

Think of this as a Monday list.
