@E Yes, dancing. It's a word which means 'rhythmic movement of the body'.

[@ivanezq1]

Yo hago ese track y descanso una hora

[@renderizer01]

I have to confess that I've been found guilty of very similar dance moves back in the day. Hell, even today I'll sometimes relapse when I'm listening to the old songs again. There's no escaping the muscle memory...

[@music9556]

back in the 80s hearing this in a dance pub system, turntables, big amps, speakers was just amazing nothing like today.

This is the best by far how can a theatre dance with music!!! Catchy and awesome song.. Envy i was not there dancing!!

[@goonerbeau]

Enola Gay' married Andy McClusky’s brilliantly quizzical vocal and placed OMD’s unstoppable mesh of synths and programmed beats front and centre. Impeccable production - you can join me in the nerdy dance if you want.

[@greybushgames1]

I thought Enola Gay was a bomber plane that bombed Hiroshima in WWII

[@howardrathbone2120]

Watched them in Liverpool in the early 80’s now waiting for them to visit Australia!

[@lennonroey]

Love it! Absolutely love it! Such poignant lyrics.

[@arshk3612]

Snap had to revisit this 6th Aug.. This is best live version. I was 15 when I was at this gig . Written 35 yrs after Hiroshima. Now 43 yrs after the song Times passing 😳 let's hope the world learnt from it Such a fantastic meaningful song. UK music in 80s punched so far above it weight.

Nobody like Andy McCluskey in the bass, theonly bass player dancer!! , he invites to the crowd to dance.. Priceless see the people dance.. This song and electricity are the best songscto put the audience soul free

[@forestfire1232]

@@arshk3612 Im actually building a replica of Andy’s bass. It was originally a 1973 jazz bass in a sunburst finish. He then sanded it off and gave it a coat of battleship grey and orange on the pick guard. This design was used through most of 1980. By September the pick guard was still orange but by December it had gone to black. Sometime in 1981 he changed it to a tortoiseshell pick guard which remained that way until 1983. In 1984 he spray painted his jazz bass blue and red as you can see in the Tesla girls video. It stayed that way until at least May 1985. After that Im not sure because there aren’t many videos or pictures of him with it and by veronicas rock night festival in October of that year he was using an aria deluxe bass. He continued to use this presumably until the 90s when he started touring again. When OMD started again he was back to using his original jazz bass with a grey body and black pick guard like it had been in late 1980. This lasted until 2017 when he got a new jazz bass, the American ultra which he has sprayed black and given it a tortoiseshell pick guard. He recently gave it to the British music experience exhibition who restored it to its original form in grey and orange like in 1980.
