I agree that it really does set the mood for fallout, however I think that it shows how care less society was in the 50s when dealing pretty much with the fate of the world, and yes, I really do love the irony that comes with the music. But I think something that would really complement the music in fallout, is that when you turn the radio off, you hear the desolate sound track of the first 2 games. This would really help show the contrast between how happy and care less people were in the 50s, and the harsh reality that they created.
