Searching for something "clean" after posting 3 slightly off-color selections... I have to go for this Donald Fagen (of course) song about a bomb shelter, though the word is not used.
"Just a dugout that my dad built/ in case the Reds decide to push the button down/"
I'm back! Last one, really. I just can't leave off #JukeboxFridayNight#BoomBangOrCrash without this one. Funk, plus actual bomb sound effects. (In fact, this is kicking off a personal Gap Band set.)
"Songs or music with booms, bangs, crashes, bombs, or money problems."

This is probably not what was meant by today's #ThursdayFiveList theme of #SupportYourLocals, but I'm interpreting it as support music venues in my state.
I looked at a list of upcoming concerts and chose the first 5 that sound good. I'm linking to a favorite song that the artist will undoubtedly play during the set.
1. Big Country / Béla Fleck and the Flecktones I love Brevard, and I like Béla Fleck. Sat Aug 16 2025 Béla Fleck Brevard Music Center · Brevard, NC https://song.link/gjxw88jbxv4pj
2. Black Horse And The Cherry Tree / KT Tunstall Sat Aug 23 2025 Toad the Wet Sprocket with KT Tunstall, Sixpence None The Richer The Amp Ballantyne · Charlotte, NC https://song.link/x2h6kgfrfmpzw
3. Couldn't I Just Tell You (Live) / Todd Rundgren I was thinking a live version couldn't compare to a studio production of this song, but then, listening to this on YT, I thought, hey, this sounds pretty good. And then, at the end, at 3:40, Todd lists all the luminaries apparently playing & singing with him (there's no video). Wow. That explains it. Wed Aug 27 2025 Todd Rundgren Raleigh Memorial Auditorium · Raleigh, NC https://song.link/8c7cpxgzvczj6
4. Only So Much Oil in the Ground / Tower Of Power. Tue Sep 09 2025 Tower of Power Carolina Theatre · Durham, NC https://song.link/dd4c79q5pqnc2
5. Rockin' Around in N.Y.C. / Marshall Crenshaw Sun Sep 21 2025 Marshall Crenshaw Cat's Cradle · Carrboro, NC https://song.link/d49pdvtfdnxwn
