Every parent in the wasteland knows the “Silence of the Vault”—that terrifying moment when the bunker goes quiet, and you know something catastrophic is brewing. The Atomic Sisters have captured that specific brand of chaos in “Little March of Mayhem,” a high-energy, percussive stomp that proves toddlers are the true masters of bunker destruction.

The Tampon Symphony

It started with a “toot” and a “thump,” and ended with a sight that would make a Sector Commander weep. The three boys marched out not as children, but as “pioneers” of a new, hairless frontier. We’re talking about “ponytails flying free,” bathroom walls as canvas, and an orchestra comprised entirely of feminine hygiene products.

The Sisters harmonize over the “tampon trumpets” and “cotton paratroopers,” painting a picture of a “battle cry” that involves victory-scream conditioner face-paint and light-up shoes. As the lyrics go, “sanity don’t live here anymore,” and once you’ve seen a C-sharp tooted on a plastic applicator baton, you’ll understand why.

War Crimes Wrapped in Fun

The track is a fast-paced “march” that mirrors the frantic energy of three kids with a pair of scissors and a dream. Whether it’s “tinsel hair” or “cotton sins,” the Sisters celebrate the raw, unteachable rhythm of childhood in the ruins. They might look like “war crimes wrapped in fun,” but in a world this strange, a “Little March of Mayhem” is just the kind of morale boost (and sanity test) a bunker mama needs.

So, if you hear a toot and a thump from the next room over… just know that the “Tampon Brass” is probably getting ready for their next set.

LITTLE MARCH OF MAYHEM

by: Atomic Sisters

It was too damn quiet which is never good
In a house with toddlers and too much wood
I heard a toot and a thump and a squealing cheer
Then my three marched out like pioneers

Hair up high just minutes before
Now twirled in the air like morale decor
Snip snip ponytails flying free
With a battle cry and a tampon symphony

Little march of mayhem calls
Bangless heads and bathroom walls
Tampon trumpets hair like flags
Victory scream through toddler gags

Little march of bunker pride
No rule book and nowhere to hide
They played their song and took the floor
And sanity don’t live here anymore

Applicators launched like tiny bazookas
Bathtub lined with cotton paratroopers
They saluted the wall then stomped in place
Wore victory like conditioner on their face

One had bangs the other had none
All three looked like war crimes wrapped in fun

No shame no pause no fear of fate
Just top knots down and morale at full gait

I said what the
They said look mom
And tooted a C sharp on a plastic baton

Little march of mayhem wins
Tinsel hair and cotton sinS
They march through hell in light up shoes
To a rhythm no one taught them to use

Little march of toddler command
Tampon brass and sticky hands
They left the room and took my calm
With a cheer a toot and a plastic bomb
