And the pilot's name was Paul Tibetts. Probably not important to the song, but it can't hurt to mention it.
Also, since I'm being ultra-pedantic, "Little Boy" was a uranium bomb, while the bomb on Nagasaki, "Fat Man," was a plutonium bomb. It would probably take a pretty strange songwriter to make note of that, but hey, a little ridiculous detail never hurt anyway.
