At the conclusion of Kubrick's classic Dr. Strangelove there's a ballet of nuclear explosions set against a wistful "We'll Meet Again". The result was the quintessence of black comedy. More recently, the pairing of music and repetitive declassified atomic test footage has become a genre unto itself.

Pure Armageddon abandonment Here
Same footage, different soundtrack Here
Mash-Up style Here
Holocost gone Classical Here
Extremely scary underground blast Here
...and more Here, Here, & Here
Below is my favorite (yet not entirely musical) clip which pits mannequins -"Mr. and Mrs. America"- against a very severe atomic heat rash.

Back then, the government cared about us. What happened?
I didn't realize it was safe to go into a nuclear blast zone 24 hrs after decimation. That makes me feel better. I bet those mass fed people are happy about the safety measures.
Now why couldn't I find any rocket sled videos on You Tube?
Bury me on Media Hill.......
