I bet none of you even know what this songs is about. So do me a favor don't pick on it onless you can tell me why she wrote and release all the Red ballons for. Because this song make me think of my best friend twin brother. who is happens to love the color Red because what it stand for.
@WIZARD101WOLFDRAGON... uhhh no, i wasent thinking of that at all... I ment to say "How the hell can a deflaited balloon get stuck in a whale blow hole!" See... You think wrong...
I have a viral project to do for college and I decided to see how many people I could get all over the world to release red balloons into the air, like the song. Since it's a song about the Cold War, I thought the release of the balloons could be a thanks for everything we have in our lives. Just being happy about life and a celebration of life and all that we are grateful for. This will all be done on a specific day. If you are interested please visit my website, 99red.co.cc -Thanx
The song is about War and Killing. Dont you know that.. Its about WW2 and how they should let the Jews go free and make the Hitler Youth suffer for what they did.
@DJxTECHNOMIDGET What are you retarded? Its about the post WWII pre cold war era about kids growing up in germany and starting a nuclear war between the east and west.
@shyguy640 ok what are you talking about. The real owner of this account. Me didnt post anything one this. It must have been my retarded friend Klaus from Germany. I didnt have this account for 4 months because I gave it to my friend in Germany so he could see what American thought of him. I guess it didnt go so well.
@misuniversal people pieces of paper with their wishes on it in ballons and let them go in the air, it sorta explains it at the end of the song when they say she had 99 wishes
@TheModifiedGarry You know there are jobs where you actually just stay home and take phone calls. And hard to believe they actually pay you more than a minimum wage job.
@ralphshumway in case YOU didn't notice, it takes a great group of people to take the time and effort to DO something like this. If no one ever want out and did anyting artistic you wouldn't even be on the computer listening to music because it wouldn't EXIST.
My bad mate Im not German. In fact, the only German bands I really like are the Scorpions and the Rammsteins. Goldfingers version is better in my opinion.
Its about nuclear war, how someone hypotheticly released 99 red ballons and they sailed into the clouds, and they showed up on radar as 99 warheads from low flying SLBM's. They over reacted and launched a massive strike, the enemy retaliated and all of civilization was destroyed in the process.
i like the german version WAYYYYYYYYY better than the english version.......the english ones sounds like shes having a hard time singing it. like its forced
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Its bad for the environment because those 99 red balloons that went up to the sky do come down, they don't ever get as high as outer space and orbit the earth. When they come down they usually can land anywhere from the ocean, the forest, even you're front yard, and the latex rubber lands on lets say a pile of grass, covering its sunlight and killing it slowly. Other effects include animals swallowing the balloon and dying. These are just a few common factors why its bad to let balloon fly away
who the hell cares? That's just it, unless certain events affect someone directly, people shouldn't care. That type of mentality is what causes more problems in the world. When 911 happened, there were people "who didn't cared" because they didnt live in New York. In this case, we share the world with the animals and plants and unless we start caring and being more responsible for our actions even the little things like letting 1 balloon fly away, if enough of them are released, it can be fatal
You, my young enemy, are simply too stupid to understand. Sooner or later everything's gonna die anyways. Why control life when we can do something we can remember forever when we are on our death bed. And it's not the humans' fault that a retarded bird eats a balloon, kay?
if my comments piss you off so much, dont read them. i watched it BY mistake cuz i thought it may have been a music video. but YOU are being an ass on purpose.
Our group got together again and we still got 98. I know it' been a while since we tried this again but now I am wondering if someone is intentionally saying 98 to start the game over. Next time we are going to a local sports bar that has a 10 foot screen and start again. We Will have laser pointers this time. For safety reasons there will be a bus to pick up and drop everyone off.
Awesome! great video...great statement. I was a young kid back in the 80's, back in the cold war, when this song hit. Funny how 20 years later it is still relevant. It's great to see the youth still questiioning authority, still standing up and making a point and being heard. Treatherorange you rock!
outstanding. i'm old and remember growing up next to macdill air force base, a primary target and home of CENTCOM. we would get a hydro at least, glass surface all around.
nena was a breath of fresh air back then. good job with the vid. :-)
OMG I thought they were talking about aliens destroyng the earth to the first time i heard it im glad im not the only one who thinks so.
the song is accually about American anti-communist hysteria of the Reagan Administration. Red was the color often used in the communist movements well to put it simple its about war XD
