There's a primal reaction when you hear an air raid siren. Especially when that siren is right behind your head. Even after practicing and performing this piece, I still get that gut-punch reaction every time. It is also my favorite piece from our recent band concert. The Homefront consists of a medley of songs arranged by James Christiansen, including:
It's Been a Long, Long Time
Thanks for the Memory
Bell Bottom Trousers
(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover
I'll Be Seeing You
Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me)
Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition!

And just so you know where BoneWolf is coming from:
It's been a long, long time Harry James and Kitty Kallen
Thanks for the memories Bob Hope and Shirley Ross
Bell bottom trouser Tony Pastor and Ruth McCullough
White cliffs of Dover Vera Lynn
I'll be seeing you Billie Holliday
Don't sit under the apple tree Andrews Sisters
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition Kay Kyser
Bonus song:
God bless America Kate Smith
And a bit of trivia about air raid sirens. (From Wikipedia)
A mechanical siren generates sound by spinning a slotted chopper wheel to interrupt a stream of air at a regular rate. Modern sirens can develop a sound level of up to 135 decibels at 100 feet (30 m). The Chrysler air raid siren, driven by an internal combustion engine, generates 138 dB at 100 feet.
And from me.
The distinctive tone of an air raid siren is due to it have TWO spinning "choppers" Both with a different number of slots.
Typically, 7 and 9.

Well, it's not the type of comment that I'm used to seeing, but I do quite like it. I had never actually researched how they generate that sound, but it certainly makes sense.
As an acoustician, I can tell you that 135 dB is insanely loud, and extremely difficult to generate continuously - you need some high pressures to do that (like a jet or rifle, usually). 138 dB is double the power of 135 dB (since decibels are on a logarithmic scale), which is quite impressive.
