[TheSickHumanBeing]

7 Seconds is AWESOME. This is the best cover of this song in my opinion, and it would be even better if it was in German :P

[ewokalypse2]

nena's original 99 luftballoons is better...

[monzione]

WHO WROTE THE original was it them

[dakotagonz]

@monzione It was orginally done by a German band called Nena.

[TheNerdNinja]

Dear sweet Buddha, this cover is horrible. I thought that lead singers were generally supposed to be, you know, good.

[subc666]

Best version I've heard :D

[SkinnyOi]

Real punk. This is the kinda shit that NEEDS to be brought back instead of this shit that these new schoolers listen to, like "Fall out boy" or whatever the fuck they listen to.

[ClevelandFoxers]

Fall Out Boy is considered "punk"? That makes me really fucking sad.

[theonlytruepunk]

They are punk as fuck!!

[theonlytruepunk]

You love Fallout Boy, admit it.

[SphincterPratt]

bahhh!! i love fallout boy. and i love april levine. you're still at it homeboy?

[theonlytruepunk]

Huh?? You love Yellowcard!

[SphincterPratt]

What happened? You love the Good Charlottes!

[theonlytruepunk]

You love the Coheed and Cambria!

[SphincterPratt]

Nah, but I'm really getting into Nickle Back these days. You on the other hand love the Thirty-second to Marses.

Hey, that guy drank beers with Kevin. respeck!

bahhhhh!!!

[theonlytruepunk]

Yeah, respect to the dude that thought he drank beer with Kevin....hahahahaha. I just told him I was Kevin, so he would pay for the beer!!!  It works every time!!

[SphincterPratt]

They drank beers and made sweet love.  And I bought Ted Leo a steak at the Sizzler.

[theonlytruepunk]

Who the fuck is Ted Leo??? Was he in the Sex Pistols?

[SphincterPratt]

Ted Leo was the lead singer for the Clash. He wrote all their top hits, for which they got all the money.

[theonlytruepunk]

I thought he was the drummer for the Sniveling Shits on their first 7"??? Or was it the Ruts???

[SphincterPratt]

He was a child actor and then the lead singer of Doggystyle.

[theonlytruepunk]

The child actor sings for Dr. Know....he was Eddie from the Courtship of Eddie's Father....

[SphincterPratt]

Of course! Ted played Missus Rivingstone.

[theonlytruepunk]

Yes...Mrs. Rivingstone used to make them Bloccori Beef on Sundays, before they would rock to the MC5!!!

[SphincterPratt]

Prease to be kicking out jams now, mistoo Eddie's fatha.

[theonlytruepunk]

Eddie learned to rock it....Raw Power in his soul!!

[GenoClown]

@SkinnyOi LOL. "or whatever the fuck they listen to." would've worked if you hadn't already said yourself what they listen to. You already said "Fall out boy", dumb-dumb.

[21ricky666]

@SkinnyOi fucking right.

[AuratheDark]

@SkinnyOi: Actually, these "kids" and "teens' listen to rap, hip-hop, Justin Beiber, and anything that sucks.

[jamesbullet55]

@AuratheDark Actually, only dumbass "Kids" and "teens" listen to that shit. I'm 16 and listen to real music as well as good "new school" punk bands (they are around, just gotta search for em haha).

[sk8freak3000]

@AuratheDark the beastie boys well known rap group used to be a hardcore band why give a shit what other people listen to ?

[shandelear]

@SkinnyOi But you do know that this is a cover of an immensely successful pop song, (translated from German), by Nena originally right? I mean, I like this song, and Nena's original version too, but 7 Seconds were considered more of a hardcore band, not a "punk" band.

[smexyrobby]

@shandelear no this would still be classified at punk, because this would not be consider the same genre of Black Sabbath which was hardcore for its day.

[shandelear]

@smexyrobby you couldn't be more wrong. no go wash your mouth out, it reeks of your mother's rotten cunt.

[smexyrobby]

@shandelear Oh really big guy just how exactly am I wrong?

[shandelear]

@smexyrobby you're one of those people who's wrong about everything. just go fuck off and die somewhere.

[smexyrobby]

@shandelear then why dont you tell me how im wrong so i wont do it again big guy.....look you need to learn your history of music before you decide to go barking to the end of leash cute lil puppy

[pmdean95]

@SkinnyOi come to san francisco man still got shit goin on here

[bowlskiforme]

@SkinnyOi \\there is nothing punk about covering an already crappy 80s song

[teejfalconaf]

Bahahaha. Back in college I had a radio show (~ 1987-88) and used to play this version - sounds like this is the same recording.

[theonlytruepunk]

How many different recordings do you think they did of this one song? Come on, dude, it is the same version...

[teejfalconaf]

I know it was more than one. I've heard 2 different live recordings and 1studio that i can recall.

The other live version was obviously different - it didn't have the same fade-out and the guy shouting "We like it!" followed by the laughter...and it wasn't just that it was cut off sooner. There were other differences.

[the3pwner]

this is a cool song i think it might be 7 seconds' best song!

[XmishiczkaX]

yea i agree actually its not originally their song :D

[theonlytruepunk]

It was Buddy Holly and the Crickets song...

[XmishiczkaX]

not Nena's?

[theonlytruepunk]

No..Buddy Holly

[killjoy3222]

nice song and the best cover ever made of it
