The Nashville bomber blasted the peppy 1964 song "Downtown" from his RV right before exploding himself and a city block 😳

How creepy is this?

The Nashville bomber, along with a warning for everyone to evacuate and a countdown to the big boom, blasted the 1964 hit "Downtown" from his RV loudspeakers just before turning himself and a city block into a crater.

But ... why?

Nothing about this bombing makes any sense.

Here are the song lyrics to the song for any of keyboard sleuths:

When you're alone and life is making you lonely

You can always go

Downtown

When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry

Seems to help, I know

Downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city

Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty

How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

So go

Downtown

Things will be great when you're

Downtown

No finer place for sure

Downtown

Everything's waiting for you

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you

There are movie shows

Downtown

Maybe you know some little places to go to

Where they never close

Downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova

You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over

Happy again

The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

So go

Downtown

Where all the lights are bright

Downtown

Waiting for you tonight

Downtown

You're gonna be alright now

Downtown

Downtown

Downtown

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you

Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to

Guide them along

So maybe I'll see you there

We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares

So go

Downtown

Things will be great when you're

Downtown

Don't wait a minute more

Downtown

Everything is waiting for you

Downtown
