The synth-pop classic, which sold over 5 million copies worldwide, addressed the atomic bombing of Hiroshima by the B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay on 6th August 1945. It was written by OMD's vocalist and bass guitarist Andy McCluskey who joins us to talk about the song. Frequently labelled as "anti-war" we will find out what inspired Andy to write the song and what it means to him and to the fans 40 years later. What's fascinating is that the song is now referenced in class-rooms as an indicator of the public's perception of the use of the Atomic bomb to bring an end to WWII. Yet to others it is simply a highly catchy pop song. Written by Paul Woodadge See less
