"Enola Gay" is a song by British synthpop band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). The song is named after the aeroplane, a USAAF B-29 Superfortress called Enola Gay (named after its pilot's mother) which dropped "Little Boy" the first atomic bomb to be used in an act of War on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, to bring an end to the Second World War. The lyrics attack the decision to use the bomb, making use of sardonic black humour ("Is mother proud of Little Boy today?") and suggesting that the bombing was unnecessary ("It shouldn't ever have to end this way").
