When two tribes go to war

A point is all that you can score

(Score them all, score them all)

When two tribes go to war

A point is all that you can score

Now Playing: Frankie Goes to Hollywood – Two Tribes (12”)

A song that’s truly stood the test of time. It spent nine weeks at number one in the UK, making it the longest-running chart-topper of the 1980s.

It perfectly captures the height of Cold War nuclear anxiety, weaving in chilling narration from Patrick Allen, the same voice used in the UK government’s real Protect and Survive public information films.

Do you think any song captures Cold War tension better than this?
