When you say "pop" songs, I assume you mean new wave(!)

Tuff Darts - (You're Love Is Like) Nuclear Waste
Bonzo Goes To Washington - B-b-b-bombing in 5 Minutes
Time Zone - World Destruction
Blondie - Atomic (well, the song isn't really about nuclear bombs but the video did depict post-nuclear apocalypse, so...)
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes
Prince - Ronnie Talk To Russia

Er...look what I found:

Sorry friend, not even close. 'Cities In Dust' is about the destruction of Pompeii by volcanic eruption.
