What they didn't realise was that Enola Gay was named after the pilot's mother and that in those days gay meant happy so they translated it as Enola Homosexual instead of Enola Jolie.

Sioraf from Macroon, IrelandThere was a French play called Les Franglaises where they would sing English songs in French.Kenny from Princeton, Nj'It's 8:15 and that's the time that it's always been' refers to all the clocks and watches in Hiroshima frozen at 8:15 AM by the electromagnetic pulse created by the atomic detonation.Georgette from Faroe Islands I remember that I used to sing this in the morning when I had 6th years in on first period when we had history lessons.Bobby from TorontoI remember a version of this song (from the radio) which included a reporter reading the news of the bomb, but I cannot find it.Thanks for reading this comment and I hope you found this helpful! Stalin was furious that Roosevelt that he hadn't told him about the bomb because they were considered allies at the time, this then started the Cold War.

Oliver from Cirencesterwe are learning about Enola gay in lessons and this is really interesting because in the line 'Conditions normal and you're coming home' signifies the fact that there were many targets chosen in Japan but Hiroshima had the best weather on the day they decided to launch the atomic bomb.
