"30 Seconds Over Tokyo" is the debut single by American post-punk band Pere Ubu. Written by band members David Thomas, Peter Laughner, and Gene O'Connor during their stint with Pere Ubu's predecessor Rocket from the Tombs, it was released on Thomas' independent Hearthan Records in 1975. The song received very little airplay at the time but has earned high praise in the years since as a pioneering example of post-punk.
