Ispirati dai maestri del pop elettronico di allora, i "Kraftwerk", Andy McCluskey e Paul Humphreys decidono, il quel della Liverpool degli anni 70, cominciano a fare musica, fin dai primi lavori, il loro pop si distingueva per una particolare vena malinconica, che ha accompagnato tutta la loro produzione, fino allo scioglimento nel 1989. "Enola Gay" appunto è un chiaro riferimento alla strage di Hiroshima (è il nome del bombardiere che sganciò la bomba atomica sulla cittadina giapponese)
Che fine hanno fatto gli OMD?? Il 28 aprile di quest'anno sono tornati con un DVD e un album live registrato all'Hammersmith Apollo il 19 maggio 2007, anche se nella band in realtà é rimasto solo Andy McKluskey, leader del gruppo.
Questo il testo della loro "Enola Gay", 1980.
Enola Gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday
Ah-ha words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied
These games you play they're going to end in more than tears some day
Ah-ha Enola Gay it shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's eight fifteen and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give, it's never going to fade away
Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
Ah-ha Enola Gay, it shouldn't fade in our dreams away
It's eight fifteen and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give, it's never ever going to fade away
Ah-ha words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied
These games you play they're going to end in more than tears some day
Ah-ha Enola Gay it shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's eight fifteen and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give, it's never going to fade away
Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
Ah-ha Enola Gay, it shouldn't fade in our dreams away
It's eight fifteen and that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give, it's never ever going to fade away
