My great-grandfather was an air raid warden in Minnesota during WW2. According to family lore, he took his job very seriously, even though when you look back on it, Minnesota was at no risk for a bomber attack.

Well, I'd rather have someone who is taking their job seriously and never has to pull the alarm than someone who doesn't and doesn't sound it when he's supposed to.

I'm going to be singing this all day now.
very catchy. i can see myself humming this tune during an air raid and feeling much calmer
When the war broke out my great grandfather was hot to trot about enlisting. Fortunately for him but maybe not for his pride, his bad eyesight kept him out of the service but he was assigned the job of air raid warden in the Boston area.

This would have made a great theme song for the series of air raid warden training lessons that aired over the nascent NBC television network in early 1942.
When I watch things like this, I think about my Grandparents (Grandfathers who served in WWI and WWII) and my parents who were growing up during this era. Oh how I wish they were all still here, so many things I wish I had asked. 😔

Love the catchy music! Good solid instructions, catchy tune to keep up morale and remember tune. So thankful wasn't necessary on our home soil, thanks to our forces and allies.
Well, at least that couple got to turn off the lights and smooch! Do you think the air raid was long enough for them to get a jump starting the Baby Boom?

There is something so comical about the way it's filmed that it feels modern.

Something seems off about this video, seems fake to me. The frame rate is strange, the posture of the man on the right is off, the humor seems self aware of the tropes of the time and the subject matter is too comedic.
