In any event, I hope readers find thema musing. If anyone can place one or both of these it would really make my day. The song with "the cold atomic surf must have been on the radio in the 70 s when I heard it, but people tell me that I have a really good memory for things like that which catch my attention, and I remember thinking it was a very interesting line so I don't think I imagined it changed the words. I heard the Army Rangers folk song two days ago. Clever people in the military had thought it would be to use the additional five atomic bombs they thought they'd have after the two they dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to destroy Japanese beach defenses, Hence "To the sound of the cold atomic surf" My father was slated to take part in the planned invasion of Japan. The other song has the lyrics "To the sound of the cold atomic surf" and it was to a rock beat or maybe even in the style of surfing songs. The ranger school is for the young and the bold Rock steady, roll ready I'm going to the ranger school Hey young fool who you talking to I'm an RI at the ranger school The first is a song about the Army Rangers I copied down these bits of the lyrics to the best of my ability, but I can't guarantee that I got them down absolutely correctly or that you might be familiar with lyrics to a slightly different version: We will float, float, float through the air Subsequent the passing of the time and having lots of funĪnd on ascending we will figure up as two We will float a little, fly a boat a little,Īs we wrote a little, write a note a little, Making love and kisses every time we scan it We’ll sail (go?) round and round the lunar planet The first part is sung very quickly and the second part is sung slowly at the same time by another person. Id like the title, when it's from and if there might be any recordings of it. I'm trying to find information about an old song (1930's? early 1900's?).
