The Sandy Tsunamis’ accidental rise to fame was as unexpected as a tidal wave in a kiddie pool. Their big break came during a beachside Cold War-themed costume contest they mistakenly thought was a concert. Performing their soon-to-be hit single “Moscow Missile” in hastily crafted Soviet-inspired swimsuits, they played a surf rock tune with an unmistakable twist.
“Moscow Missile” became an overnight sensation, rocketing up the charts faster than a Sputnik satellite. The song’s infectious riff and Ricky’s occasional shout of “Moscow Missile!” became a summer anthem. Despite the obvious geopolitical confusion, the public couldn’t get enough of their unique blend of surf and nuclear armageddon.
Lyrics:
Gettin' out of bed half asleep
For this lowdown job that I gotta keep
CEO makes millions in an hour
I think I'll take a uranium shower
Our money's been sent overseas
To bomb children, guaranteed
Our homeless rot in streets
The masses fall for media deceit
Moscow Missile take to the sky
Moscow Missile let freedom fly
Moscow Missile cut through the greed
Give this world what it truly needs
Moscow Missile!
Moscow Missile!
Moscow Missile!
Moscow Missile!
Dementia Dan is runnin' this show
His thoughts are vacant and words are slow
Praise the lord, he answered our prayers
We did it boys! We beat Medicare!
Corporate greed cannot be stopped
Middle class has already flopped
You're a peasant in their oligarchy
Maybe that missile will ignite anarchy
Moscow Missile hear our call
Moscow Missile free us all
Moscow Missile shine your light
End this cruel bitter way of life
Moscow Missile!
Moscow Missile!
Moscow Missile!
Moscow Missile!
Well the jet streams gettin' wobbly
And I have to say that probably
The tic tac toe of the power grid
An adieu it's about to bid
60% of wildlife gone in a flash
What's another 40 turned to ash?
No sense in sufferin' anymore
Shove corporate greed and close the door
Moscow Missile take to the sky
Moscow Missile let freedom fly
Moscow Missile cut through the greed
Give this world what it truly needs
Moscow Missile!
Moscow Missile!
Moscow Missile!
Moscow Missile!
