Wartime radio

Wartime radio

Wartime radio is a genre of music that was enjoyed during the late 1930s through mid 1940s. After the end of World War II, this music exploded until the paranoia of the Cold War made this kind of music irrevelevant after the Soviet menace replaced the Nazi menace. To most people, "wartime radio music" is fun, cheerful, bold, and daring. To others, wartime music can be depressing, especially if one is of German, Italian, or Japanese descent. English is the only language that "wartime radio" is done to and some people from France were Nazi collaborationalists, thus making this kind of music unenjoyable for those Frenchmen who did not fight with the Allied Forces all the way through World War II.

One notable example of wartime radio songs is the iconic World War II song "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy". Swing music is also another notable example of wartime radio music. Lawrence Welk would later play this kind of music on "The Lawrence Welk Show".
