I found it a little bizarre that there's hardly any info, i know the main singer still alive along with one other member. Does anybody know if this is archived, i know there were multiple groups of five stars through the 1950-1960s. Anybody know anything about this?

I had to check to make sure I didn't coast into another forum. What?

The group five stars who sing the main song for fallout 4, Adam bomb baby by five stars, its a little weird no info on them

They might not have been that popular a group back then; maybe they were only a one-hit wonder, or Bethesda chose the song for thematic purposes. A lot of groups from back then have sort of slipped through the cracks - we only remember the really spectacular musicians from back then.

Well if were talking old, lets go back to a time where Bing Crosby sang. I only found there records and i see this song actually being popular in the 1950s, because of the cold war.

I began listening to rock in the 50's and never heard of this group or the song. I'm not surprised there's little to be found.

Well now you must of been born in the 40s or unless you were a young in around that time. I have no idea i found no info but their own record label and i think the main singer was on the jimmy Stewart show.

Two words: Spice Girls.

They were a big hit in the mid-90's. Two decades later... we barely remember them. Granted, there's more info on them than the Five Stars, but that may not hold true 50+ years from now. Especially if they were a one-hit wonder, like Eiffel 65 ("Blue (Da ba dee)").

First, that's not the main song for Fallout 4; it's another Inkspots tune (heard in the trailer).

Atom Bomb Baby is just a bad song that is played in the combat montage video, not the main theme.

I found this link...I have not researched it, though. Right under the purple KERNEL record it mentions "Atom Bomb Baby".

Bad song i highly disagree with you on that, that song fits fallout 4, when you come to think of it fallout 4 is about nuclear bombs dropping and adam bomb baby fits very well for fallout 4.

Someone already added a ton of info about them to the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Five_Stars.

Fun fact - this isn't the first time people have shown renewed interest in them, last time was with the film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atomic_Cafe back in the 80s - the same song was used for that too.

Oh I remember the spice girls. Let's see there was ... um ... oregano, then salt and pepper (or maybe that was another group?), um nutmeg, and um ... cumin (the spice you idiot). They sang that song um ... about wambe or something like that. Course they were after the 1950's a bit.

I'm surprised we don't hear more Everly Brothers. My dad made me listen to them all the time. "All I have to do is Dream" should fit right in to FO4 since the SS slept for 200 years.

Yeah, part of the reason everyone's always saying modern music svcks is because no one bothers to remember crappy music from the past, so our view is skewed. That Atom Bomb Baby got remembered is nice, but there must have been a ton of songs like that back then that no one really cared about. There was a "bubblegum pop" phase in the late 60s - absurdly banol and childish pop music, but all we really remember from that trend are the Monkees, and maybe the Banana Splits.

(as a Morrowind fan I always keep reading their name as the Five Far Stars... am I weird?)

Yeah, and there's a bunch of songs in the FO3 soundtrack that mention or allude to atom bombs. Just because it fits the theme, doesn't mean it is / should be, the "main song". The Inkspots song in the trailer seems like it'll be the opening song, to match the ones from FO1 and 3.

Anyway, as for the original topic.... "five stars" in lowercase, didn't mean a thing to me. I had no idea that was the band that sings Atom Bomb Baby, or that it was even the name of a band. (I'd assumed, based on context, that you were wondering about the members of the Inkspots. No idea if they actually had five members or not, though.)

They were probably just a local band that recorded a few songs and seemed to sort of make a splash.. If you notice on Colorradio.com, there are multiple bands from the same time period that used the name The Five Stars. http://www.colorradio.com/five-stars.htmlhttp://www.colorradio.com/five-stars.html%C2%A0Could be a simple case of people being too confused by the multiple bands using the same name that they didn't get much further than releasing a few 45's..

I wonder who actually owns the rights now and how hard it was to track down those rights so that Bethesda could use the song in a video game?. ..

There is five of them from the fallout wiki two of them are still alive and i found one of them talking on a show which is the lead singer and he is very much alive today, i wonder if bethesda asked him for permission to use that song? I have no idea why there's no wikipedia on them unless no ones ever heard of them, when a few people i know heard that song they liked it very much and said it fits for fallout 4 very well and it does. I know wikipedia can sometime mislead people because somethings are wrong and right.

Bad song! This comment had me flipping. Holy spaghetti and meat sauce, I love this song so very much. I also had a hard time finding anything on the Five Stars when I heard and fell in love with Atom Bomb Baby back in June.

Right? I thought it was damn good, and catchy. Very fitting.

Agreed, seems like they just chose from a random list of songs with nuclear references in the title. I can't stand the song myself and i'm a fan of big band for the most part.

Never heard of them before the Fallout video. It's an alright song with a catchy tune.

Pretty sure the main FO4 theme is, "it's All Over But the Crying", by the Ink Spots.

The lack of info on the Five Stars is due to them being a one hit wonder type group.
