The whole world was going to be blown to smithereens. It seems a little melodramatic now, but it was a genuine thing at the time if you remember.\" \n\n The lyrics of the song reference Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and President Ronald Reagan and include a wry joke about cruise missiles. \n\nhttps://tinyurl.com/ytdbun2x", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
