Story Behind The Song
Justin Currie (on a BBC songwriters' circle show) said that a good title for a song would be 'No one looks good in the light of a chandelier' - I took up that challenge and posted it - Because of that story someone else then bet me I couldn't write a song with the title 'Intercontinental Ballistic Missile' - I do like a challenge!
Song Description
Quirky, Upbeat Fun Song just right for a comedy series like 'Saturday Night Live' or an informational kids TV program like 'Horrible Histories' Informatively commenting on Ronald Reagan's and Mikhail Gorbachev's love of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and their role in the 'Cold War' and the general impact on the world. Not what you expect from a fun comedy song played on ukulele, guitar and hunting bugle!!!

Chorus
Woo - Hooh - The Winter Wild Child
Woo - Hoo ooh - We've been nuclear defiled
Woo - Hoo - Neither in or out of style
Intercontinental Ba-Llis-tic Missile
Verse 1
Ron and Mikhail thought an intercontinental
Ballistic missile was cute and sentimental
Through a cold war trial and not by accidental
This atomic pile made peace inconsequential
Chorus
Woo - Hooh - The Winter Wild Child
Woo - Hoo ooh - We've been nuclear defiled
Woo - Hoo - Neither in or out of style
Intercontinental Ba-Llis-tic Missile
Verse 2
3,000 miles between depart and detrimental
Land based or mobile, like a tank or sublimental
The rank and file with their lives so regimental
mutually beguiled by destruction monumental - assured
Chorus
Woo - Hooh - The Winter Wild Child
Woo - Hoo ooh - We've been nuclear defiled
Woo - Hoo - Neither in or out of style
Intercontinental
Intercontinental
Intercontinental
Intercontinental Ba-Llis-tic Missile
