With all the bombing happening in the Middle East, it’s time for a new song about uranium enrichment.

Well, that didn’t take long. Just days after the US joined Israel in bombing Iran to destroy the country’s nuclear weapon capability, a group called Hounds has released a song entitled “Third Time’s the Charm.” It’s an earwormy thing about uranium enrichment and the Obama-era agreement that Trump ripped up. Why? Because it had Obama’s name on it.

Damn, this is a banger.

This isn’t the first such song, though. The internet would like to bring this 1979 song from The Stranglers back to our attention.

And you might want to familiarize with this ditty from Elton Britt.

A couple more and we’ve got a serious playlist. Any suggestions?

Coldplay is going to re-release their catalogue on recycled vinyl that’s hopefully not like the old crap from the end of the 70s.
