Good call on the Luftballons, David. Gotta say that while I don't understand the German version, I like the ending verses of the English one better. "It's all over and I'm standin' pretty" and "I think of you and let it go" sounds more melodic to my ears the way it's spoken and sung. Still, foreign language (to me) female vocals always sound sexy.

I know I wasn't clear about what I'm looking for as I'm uncertain myself, other than to say music that has an 80's Cold War vibe or mood (even if technically not 80's nor Cold War). I guess mood is personal so an impossible request, but I'm enjoying some new songs and seeing what sticks.
One day I'm going to make 80's war games ("SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?") and my motivational playlist will be influenced by this thread.

Here's a few mood setting pics (I've posted them before, some Cold War refreshments, atlas [1979] and entertainment)...

I'm neither politically minded nor politically correct, just interested in some relatively recent world events (in my lifetime, born 1967), including the fear of nuclear Armageddon. But I know that I romanticize aspects of the Cold War with Hollywood-induced childhood fascination.

An interesting discovery, it seems that one of my favorite regular Friday date night playlist songs was inspired by nukes!...
"...and his fears of a nuclear war inspired "I Melt with You". The song depicts a couple making love while an atomic bomb is dropped." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Melt_with_You
Modern English - I Melt With You (Official Video)...

"Thank you for this. i heard that maurice destroyed the original tapes, and that is why there is no soundtrack."
"I understand that all of the music and tapes were destroyed in a fire during production, hence the film portion was complete but there was nothing left to release as a soundtrack." ==========
Well, at least someone figured out how to post the main theme on YT. I'll look into this later, but I want this tune.

The 80's...from cloud 9 to the mushroom cloud. Romance and global annihilation...go together like a horse and carriage. <- line needs work.
Back to this project (and to playing Fleet Defender), just downloaded the current Audacity and determined to rip the Firefox theme from my DVD. Also downloaded a YT music ripper in case this doesn't work (the Firefox theme is still not available anywhere as posted above).

EDIT: Wow..."War Pigs" (1970) is almost as old as I am!

I haven't read this whole thread but when I think of 80's Cold War songs these immediately come to mind:
"Nikita" by Elton John "Wind of Change" by the Skorpions "Forever Young" by Alphaville
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

PM, I have your first two in my playlist but not your third, never heard of it. Then I listened to it on YouTube and it's driving me nuts trying to remember what movie I heard that on (and I won't cheat for now)! Good song.
I'm also going to add our daily morning stretching/exercise startup song because to me it's always had a Cold War vibe (and wife likes the NYC references)...
Rush - The Camera Eye (DVD Time Machine:Live in Cleveland)...
The one time I heard this live on that tour in New Orleans. I miss Rush.

What would be the most cliche' song to use for that? Maybe "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor?
