This was such an easy choice, and it was not because of the selection (lack of) available from my 1965 memories. In fact there were so many really good songs released in 1965, all of which made some impact on 19 year old Colin however, evidence of WWII was still prevalent in England which, coupled with the apparent “stand-off” between the USA and (then) USSR ….. made this a very hard hitting song for an impressionable teen!

Good song, but apparently inaccurate. After all, it seems we really weren’t on the eve of destruction, as evident by our continued existence 56 years after this song became a hit.

Yes, although I think there were several times when it came close to being accurate.

I loved the line “Hate your next door neighbour, but don’t forget to say Grace.” It highlights the hypocrisy of the time which, sadly, is still prevalent 50+ years later.
