Tim Heidecker croons about our inevitable nuclear destruction on the latest Our First 100 Days

Given Heidecker’s usual output, it’s somewhat surprising that there’s no real joke at play in “Trump Talkin’ Nukes”; instead, it’s just a pretty piano ballad reflecting on the specter of nuclear annihilation that’s loomed over humanity for the last 70 years. Reflecting on his childhood, “growing up on Red Dawn, and WarGames, and ICBMs,” Heidecker doesn’t even mention the president until the final lines, when he indirectly namechecks him by singing, “But you can’t put the genie back / in fact, it’s a miracle it hasn’t happened yet / Crazy, how it only takes a maniac.”

Our First 100 Days is selling all its songs for a minimum donation of $30; according to the group, “all profits raised from Our First 100 Days will go directly to organizations working on the front lines of climate, women’s rights, immigration and fairness.”
