about

Operation Cue takes its name from a nuclear test on Yucca Flat in Nevada on May 5, 1955. The goal was to determine the effects of a blast on homes and utilities. Audio clips are from a public domain film, courtesy of The Prelinger Archive.

lyrics

(Operation Cue!)

We were sat in the Chalk River forest
With the birds and the trees and the dunes
That's when I started glowing
The way that Jimmy Carter do

But now,
Oh the flames are high
They're burning my brains up
The flames are high
They're boiling my brains up

Operation

(Put on your goggles!)
(H-minus 10 seconds)

But now,
Oh the flames are high
They're burning my brains up
The flames are high
They're boiling my brains up

Operation

We were sat in the Chalk River forest
With the birds and the trees and the dunes
That's when I started glowing
The way that Jimmy Carter do
