I was born in ´74 and having lived all my life in the other side of
the Earth (looking from Australia´s side), I first heard of "duck and
cover" while watching Michael Moore´s "The Awful Truth" on DVD, which
includes an episode of the series where M.Moore shows off the original
1950s "duck and cover" US govt film to India and Pakistan officials,
while he tells them to be prepared if they want to become a nuclear
power and attack each other..

Later I  began recognising parodies of it in other popular tv shows and films...
