Nena - 99 Luft Balloons English Version

[pinkfloydmamo]

VERY NICE!!!! WOW WOW WOW

[akabiscuitwaffle]

@sb129ist  british are you?

[jengel0211]

luv thosr leather pants

[anotherrcapostate]

When I was a young engineering student, I thought this song was amusing but far fetched. Now, as a machine intelligence researcher, I think Nena has a point.

[MilitaryWolf88]

my dad said she was 19 in this vidieo she is hot

[GusFogle]

@MilitaryWolf88 She would have been 23-24 when this was filmed. And yes she is hot. Still is today.

[svaz2006]

The "Trailer Park Shuffle" dancing cracks me up. Nevertheless, she was smoke'n.

[sb129ist]

nena looks pretty good in them black leather trousers (pants)

[jeepster4u2003]

I don't care if she used sign language she's HOT

[thismelrocks]

This is the first time I have ever heard this song in English. I prefer the German version. Something about hearing it in English that ruins it for me.

[TheGAMESHARQ]

Her accent is sexy!

[rhonethesilver]

@DJSexLeopard This song has nothing to do with North Korea, which wasn't even an issue in 1984 when Nena performed this song. It was about a fear of East and West Germany going to war due to faulty radar equipment mistaking balloons for something they were not. Though I can see a parallel in your statement, it is not historically accurate for this piece of music.

[anotherrcapostate]

@rhonethesilver the lasting point is that the more human machines become the less human we become.

[ChicoHarpoGroucho]

@DJSexLeopard Only uniformed fools still believe the world will end in nuclear war.

[anotherrcapostate]

@ChicoHarpoGroucho Last time I checked, the U.S. was armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons, and so is China. China is also selling nuclear secrets to enemies of the U.S. One of these secrets is the tritium initiator, which gives fission weapons a long shelf life allowing these weapons to be stock piled. While the world may not go to war a single rogue state detonating one nuclear weapon, the world certainly would go to war over multiple detonations.

[Leigon26]

Song is better in German

[NorthsideBill]

A sexy accent and a butt like that? Jackpot, baby!

[Pandahpowah]

I think her accent rocks :D

[clubinkay88]

@DJSexLeopard ohhhh.... welll the LEAST she could do is SMILE even if it IS the end of the world

[fritzzwicky4]

she is very lovely miss her makes me yearn for the cold war kinda sick of beaten on rag heads wars no fun since the cold war ended aint there any germans out there wanting to kill some jewswe need some white on white violence

[clubinkay88]

does she ever SMILE???

[sargentwrecker]

German version is better but damn she can sing really well english as well and she is so hot

[coxuck]

yep, my vote's for the german version.

[pressure57]

Goldfinger did an awesome cover IMO

[Arkafana]

Sorry. German version is better. But this is still good.

[samjbacon1]

Not as good as the german version, and one reason is because she hadn't learned to speak English when the had her sing the English translation.

[jack24showrocks]

fact: the best bass players are in the 70's/80's

[AvtomatPruneJuice]

@jack24showrocks check out russian band arias vitaly dubinin

possibly the best classic heavy metal bassist

also check out geddy lee from rush on the track tom sawyer he wrecks it.

[darkmafia43]

Italian version?? Someone make an italian vrrsiin fuck

[CopSpiller]

2:55 Mick Jagger?lol

[CopSpiller]

Both versions= awesome!

[drandydds]

German version much better. English version sound really weak.

[viktord1]

haha the "super high tech jet fighters" part cracks me up every time!

[vietnamguy1223]

you can hear ger german accent when she sings in english

[ruler1978]

its hard to be a german and czech boy raised in texas lol,

[ruler1978]

its ok, but i prefer the german version.

[rhm143hmbs]

it may have if it was properly translated

[rossplendent]

The German one is more scathing.

[IcouldBNE1]

Looks like Chrissy Hynde of the Pretenders at 0:49.

[legendofzelda100]

Original German version's better in my opinion.

[mottledbrain]

@legendofzelda100 I concur with that.

But for some reason that I can't figure out I really love the sound of people singing in German. So it's no wonder that I prefer the original German.

[TheJer1963]

@legendofzelda100 I was around for both of them. The American version was a huge failure when it came out. It just didn't work.

[simp777]

i remember this when i was at catering college in the 80s classic

[ACluelessKid]

I don't really hear an accent.

[OverdoseIndustries]

@ACluelessKid ...how? it stands out like a fire in a dark room on some parts

[OverdoseIndustries]

omg in the german version i thought i heard captain kurk...whaddya know, i did

[BillHicks420]

*knock knock*

"Who's there?"

"Ze gestapo!"

"The gestapo wh--"

"VE ASK ZE QVESTIONS AROUND HERE!"

[Victoire713]

yea i agree, german version is better

[mdintino1420]

Great tune. This is when music was great. Nena was really hot!!!!

[seasonedbeefcock]

no shit you morons, this song was originally IN GERMANNNNNNNNNNN

[junkee4]

dancing with leather pants=hot

[kalebrobison]

no matter how hot the accent is, i cant get over the hairy armpits

[GreatLash75]

The whole thing is A D O R A B L E! Their sound, their look.....ah the 80s were AWESOME!!!!

[possumonu2]

@GreatLash75 actually i think it was 75

[loonylovegood107]

Her accent is adorable

[ogporage]

It's her voice and not some other random singer. Respect.

Besides, I wouldn't call that a heavy german accent anyways... her voice has character and sounds cute.

[AlexNiedt]

Band strikes a serious groove, and the German accent is sexy.

[humbleradio]

I love her accent. Both versions are great imho.

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@humbleradio ....Definitely.



[Jeremiy2]

funny thing is that here in USA we think you germans are behind in the times, I know better. Thank you Motherland germany!! And also a big hug to rest of world for keeping us entertained and educated.

[accidentprown]

i think the accent makes the song better.

[falconmaster64]

Her English isn't very good but if you want s ong that is closer to the original beat with english lyrics Goldfinger has made a faily good version

[bookworm2424]

Still sounds German to me. :P But it's an awesome song in any version. <3

[nazia3204]

great voice,beautiful song!

[CodWiiForums]

German please.

[NextBigThing82]

This is a hot song, always has been. Seriously though, she's coked out of her mind during this. Just look @ her. She's def hot though...

[azelectricllc]

her english has a really heavy german accent nevertheless cool.

[johnson1095]

@azelectricllc

i find that kinda sexy haha

[deadluiga]

If I could meet anyone, id meet her :p

[TheJer1963]

@deadluiga Well she is still around and doing shows in Germany. Still sexy today.

[druidsrootyou]

lol german version is way better imo mostly cuz she cant speek english 2 good but shes awsome

[SeaHutchNanners]

@druidsrootyou By the  sound of this comment, you can't speak English very good either.

[Killenwolf]

@SeaHutchNanners You mean very well,not good.

And btw neither can you.

[GleekRulez]

@Killenwolf shut it



[SeaHutchNanners]

@Killenwolf "Not good" isn't grammatically incorrect, don't argue for the sake of arguing.

[tbizzle112991]

@SeaHutchNanners Very well*

[idkahhhh]

@druidsrootyou i think that makes it better..but i do like german version better:)

[LottelGuy]

@druidsrootyou pot/kettle there, buddy.

[TashaZasha]

@druidsrootyou I found your comment ironic since you don't seem to *speak *English *too *well either ^_^ Just a friendly jab! I agree tho, she's awesome!

[jaredmartingordon]

@druidsrootyou She speaks English quite a bit better than most native speakers. Mind if I use you for the example?

[Ablack51]

@druidsrootyou I really hope this was a sarcastic comment...

[DrinkToIreland]

@druidsrootyou you are criticizing her for her english when you can't spell the word "speak" right?

[smoothcriminal3277]

[ascortjkk]
