This irradiated collaboration between the Mann Brothers and Hatton Family had a relatively short half-life on record store shelves. Now restored via ai music magic, The Man-Hatton Project lives on…unlike the members of both groups and everyone involved with the recording, who all passed mysteriously after shooting the original album cover downwind from a nuclear test site. The replacements - pictured above - were paid a small sum of money to recreate the original photo in the Mojave desert. Unfortunately, a booking error saw the bus driver take them out to the exact same shooting location and none of the replacements, or the driver, are available for comment either.

Lyrics:
You split my heart like an Atom
And our love it did explode
You left my soul irradiated
But what a tale was told
The first time I laid eyes on you
We were just thirteen, what was I to do?
The siren went off and we made our play
And as we ducked and covered, we held hands that day
You split my heart like an Atom
And our love it did explode
You left my soul irradiated
But girl how you did glow
Well we both graduated and then
Your daddy took me aside, said be an honest man
And so I worked double time at the blast test site
And put a ring on your finger when the time was right
You split my heart like an Atom
And our love it did explode
And soon we were to marry
But girl where did you go?
Oh one night I came home early
But you were nowhere to be found at just five thirty
And I drove all around town just to find
You sittin' on a park bench in a phony disguise
When I saw you hand over the envelope I was cussin'
Cause anyone with eyes could tell that guy was Russian
You split my heart like an Atom
And our love it did explode
But you committed treason
So I guess our tale's been told
You split my heart like an Atom
And our love it did explode
But you committed treason
So I guess our tale's been told
(You split my heart like an atom)
