Yeah, good call on not posting the goofy Chevy Chase video. Distracts from an actually really good song!

Meet the Applegates?

Thanks dudes! Some very nice balcony/sunset tracks for this weekend. 

Yeah Cold War has got to be connected to the answer if we're talking about destruction of humanity. If an attack was ordered, it's unlikely to have occurred after the installation of the nuclear hotline between the Soviet Union and the US in the early 1960s. So...the answer must be someone operating as, or connected closely to, Secretary of Defence (or the Soviet equivalent) between 1945 and 1960. Can anyone name these people? (I can't!)

OK Mandle, give us something good...

Armageddon?

+1 this is great. Are you a Kerouac fan, Jack?

Canadians will remember this TV opening by the same name 

No idea what's sung at 1:03 but sounds good 

Just doing my part to narrow down the answer. OK no math in this one, people! 

Is this possibly an educational game played in schools in the 80's? Shoot, I think the name was Math Caves or Math Castle?

Baby Ruth?

Sweet Marie?

Operation Choco-Dump?
Operation Hands Off the Chocolate, Commie Scum?

Hmmmmmm...Fudge Town?

Ah, getting it by pure guessing is always great...

Next:

Chocolate dropped from the sky, literally. While this just sounds sweet, we are actually talking about a humanitarian effort that kept a city alive for a year. I'm looking for the colloquial term referenced in the first sentence (mainly because it is more fun).

In the spirit of random guessing: Not sure what the colloquial term is, but is the historical significance a period of time when Allies dropped chocolate over areas of recently occupied and demolished France?

A candle?
Nuclear weapons?
A compass?
A sundial?

Silence?
Listening?

Cool track - anything with accordion always wins my heart. If you listen with headphones, there's a cool instrument (or combination of instruments) that sounds like a stand up bass and one of those First Nations drums.

Relax/study track in the same vein:

Democracy?

Morgan, can you give us a hint?
