In Fallout 3, the list of songs(at least in GNR, and in a way perhaps the Enclave radio as well, often had some irony to them and the setting. Patriotic music in a country no longer politically unified, near absent of ever having any contact with anything very far off, and with those who aren't remotely happy(with exceptions)? Yeah.
Let's Go Sunning- Not much of a sun, and the lines, "life's worth living/when nature's giving." Probably some other bits I'm not thinking of too.
I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire- The whole world is a nuclear wasteland from the bombings. Which, while being more literal than required(just the nuclear bombings themselves would symbolically work, obviously), would have created firestorms.

I, however, haven't paid much attention to the New Vegas radios' songs-I was curious as to if it had any of those sort of elements involved in the songs aired on the radios? How about the songs at the very beginning of the earlier Fallout games("Maybe" and "A Kiss to Build a Dream on)?

This isn't to just discuss the songs themselves, rather the ironies they have/other aspects of them that seem to pertain to the game as well. Opinions/views/thoughts on them, that sort of thing. Not really a terribly serious thread, just more discussion on the little details I s'pose. =] I was curious as to how everyone else felt about the matter.
