 * BIKINI ATOLL (thanks to shaggy@thevision.net for deciphering this lyric and 
  giving this info:

The Bikini Atoll is the name given to a group of islands in the South
Pacific.  Check it out:

     The U.S. did nuclear testing at the Bikini Atoll, too, which might
just fit in with the "They're gonna atomize you" thing.
