In my defence, I only remembered the melody and I didn't know the name of the song until I heard it again today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enola_Gay_(song)

The lyric to the song reflects on the decision to use the bomb and asks the listener to consider whether the bombings were necessary ("It shouldn't ever have to end this way").[15] The phrase "Is mother proud of Little Boy today?", is an allusion to both the nickname of the uranium bomb and pilot Paul Tibbets naming the aircraft after his mother. The phrase, "It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been", refers to the time of detonation over Hiroshima at 8:15 am JST; as many timepieces were "frozen" by the effects of the blast, it becomes "the time that it's always been". It is identified as an "anti-war" track,[b] although McCluskey stated he "wasn't really politically motivated to write the song", which was informed by a fascination with World War II bombers. He hoped it "conveyed an ambivalence about whether it was the right or the wrong thing to do".

"Enola Gay" is popular with early home computer enthusiasts, being used in demos such as Swinth (Commodore 64).[73] Hackers have also enjoyed the song; it can be found as the "music bed" for numerous mega-demos and "cracktro" found on releases by warez groups like the Beastie Boys.[74] The song was featured in the 2015 film Ex Machina, a sci-fi thriller about the implications of artificial intelligence.

I enjoyed it, but the rhymes weren't as intricate as some of their others
