I assume the "red ballons" in the sky are symbol for nuclear mushroom clouds? I like the upbeat song and disturbing lyrics haha makes it interesting to listen to
yeah, the german version IS better than this one, but we can't say that this version is bad, because it's not. and besides, we can't expect this version to be better than the original, can we?
@videocritic2463 It actually flows better because the song was designed for that language. In fact (As Im sure you know) The actual version of this song doesnt even specify color. It was added to the English version for syllable fillage.
Many times songs don't translate well. Making the translated words work well in the song without losing the meaning is tough, but this is done extremely well.
goldfinger minced this song up into 99 tiny pieces, put it in a food processor, put it the microwave, took it out, then published it to the public, the public now calls it SHIT.

oh come on, its not half bad if you give it a chance. Unfortunatly you Cum and go just like all of the sex you had, dont both following up incase shes pregneant.
haha ive known words to this song since age 5 or 6. I can remember being in my mothers car and telling her to put the balloon song on. Im 14 now but this has to be my favorite song ever!
uh...well it's not anti Reagan, it's actually against the cold war and all. She's not saying "Oh, I hate Reagan", she's making a point of what the cold war was like.
For a song originally sung entirely in German to go #1 in America you know it has to have a great beat, melody and hook. If this one doesn't make you tap your toe something is wrong with you!
"99 Luftballons" is a Cold War-era protest song by the German singer Nena. Originally sung in German, it was later re-recorded in English as "99 Red Balloons".
I love her hairy armpits that is such a turn on!!!!
