And hee! When I watched it on the night I was too busy bopping along to really notice anything (Pretty Vacant and Sweet Dreams buy me off very quickly) - I still can't quite believe he managed to have a coherent collage and keep it to what people would straightforwardly have wanted in the sequence. But I suppose that's part of the point, that this does say something about what we're like.
I'm in my early twenties, so I wasn't very good on most of the 80s stuff (while all of the 70s and before definitely resonated with me as the music my parents would play in the car all through my childhood!), but looking up Enola Gay on YouTube... I think that was in the getting ready bit? Or afterwards on the way to the party? 'We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you're coming home'... I love all the play about with the media!
