In Billy Joel's "Cold War" Anthem - "Leningrad", he begins the 3rd stanza (in first person) as follows:
"I was born in '49 A cold war kid in McCarthy time
Stop 'em at the 38th Parallel
Blast those yellow reds to hell"
The term "Reds" was globally identified with, and used as a slang for, "Communism and/or Communists". Originating from the dominant use of Red background/field colors in the Communist National Flag by the U.S.S.R.; followed by Mao Zedong's Communist China, North Korea, North Vietnam, Angola, Communist Poland, etc.
Billy's reference to "Yellow" is a racial slur (Note: Billy Joel is NOT a racist.. he uses the term to define the "times" he was raised in and the social vernacular used then) to those of Asian ethnicity; in this case, North Koreans & the Chinese who supported North Korea in the "Korean War".
So, the phrase "yellow reds" means North Korean/Chinese Communists.
Hope this helps.
