The band Pleasure Hounds has been confirmed to exist, having recorded a similar-sounding demo in 1982,<ref>https://imgur.com/0mcsCOZ</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD1Nj0phnCo</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lshlcfld838</ref> and their song Opus has been confirmed to have played on July 18, 1982 on the radio station WFMU in New Jersey, where the OP remembers recording it.<ref>https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/37589</ref> However, this has been debunked after WatZatSong user Kurty contacted Yale University, who had a copy of the Pleasure Hounds' original demo tape and confirmed that Opus is a 1:40 instrumental track.<ref name=":0" /><ref>https://beineckelibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2551/collection_resources/115030//description#description</ref>

== Discovery ==

On December 5, 2024, the song was identified as Bombs In The Tundra by Pleasure Hounds after Discord users Aidnic and rocketballboi discovered a Facebook post from WFMU DJ Pat Duncan, which featured a 1983 playlist that included the song, proving that a song called Bombs In The Tundra by Pleasure Hounds did in fact exist.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10229659912734925&set=a.10219103916841625&type=3&rdid=B0QV6L3Yb8e21loZ&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F1Dav23oSg9%2F</ref>

|'''Presumed Lyrics'''
|-
|'''(Verse 1)'''
 
We're running on foreign soil
 
Design is made to order
 
The jealousy drives them wild
 
Forcing them over our borders
 
'''(Chorus)'''
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
(I'm wondering why they play the weak?)
 
'''(Verse 2)'''
 
Waiting for the countdown
 
Pulses through them (down to their knee?)
 
I see a tear from the eye of KGB
 
(And to think that it was a contender?) for tyranny
 
'''(Chorus)'''
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
(I'm wondering why they play the weak?)
 
'''(Verse 1)'''
 
We're running on foreign soil
 
Design is made to order
 
The jealousy drives them wild
 
Forcing them over our border
 
'''(Chorus)'''
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
(I'm wondering why they play the weak?)
 
'''''(Instrumental)'''''
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
(I'm wondering why they play the weak?)
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
Bombs in the tundra
 
In the tundra
 
Bombs, in the tundra
