Peter Scott Peters was also in a movie where they saved Hitler's brain.


ok so obviously today there is a reoccuring theme and I have found SO much in audio, video, and visual imagery of such a strange period known as events prior and leading up to the Cold War! I keep emailing myself numerous links to things so I don't forget them.

I'm listening to a song right now by Peter Scott Peters, called Fallout Shelter, and yet another 7" I would die to find. You know, if I was alive in 1962 and someone sang this to me I'd surely swoon. And while I'm thinking "romantically" here, I'd absolutely make out in a fallout shelter listening to this song. And you know what? It'd be amazing. Yeah, I said it. Plus, Mr. Peters was also in a film called "They Saved Hitler's Brain" which if you don't know what it's about, just look at the title, r-tard.


*ahem*.
Lyrics:

I'm not scared
I'm prepared
I'll be spared

I've got a fallout shelter, it's 9 by 9,
A Hi-Fi set and a jug of wine
Let the missiles fly from nation to nation
It's party time in my radiation station
A 14 day supply of multi-purpose food
Water, medicine, be sure to include
Build your bomb bungalow, you needn't postpone
With no down payment and an FHA loan

Let the tests go on in the atmosphere
In my fallout shelter, I'll have no fear
My baby and me, cozy we'll be
Away from radioactivity

Twenty megatons is the size of the boom,
And if they let it go, I'll feel no doom,
Let the cats run about, helter-skelter
I'm gonna live, live, live, in my fallout shelter

I'm not scared
I'm prepared
I'll be spared

Twenty megatons is the size of the boom,
And if they let it go, I'll feel no doom,
Let the cats run about, helter-skelter
I'm gonna live, live, live in my fallout shelter

So if you want to be full of confidence
Get survival jazz and civil defense
You'll live like a king in your fallout pad
Till all the clear sounds on CONELRAD
Dial six-four-o, twelve-four-0-, CONELRAD.
