Well, the German word for balloon literally means "airballoon". But in English it's just balloon, so they had to fill the gap and chose "red" although the color isn't actually mentioned in the German lyrics
hey fraeulein, look east...a couple million russians brutally occupying half you country, just looking for an excuse to come over the fulda gap shoot your dad, brother boyfrien and rape your mother and sister, judging forn 44-45. and these american boys though not the perfect guest are willing to fight and die to prevent that.
Incidentally given this is a song about ending wars and nuclear prolifiration (which we have now), interesting that the yanks claim to be 3-5 years away from weaponising a fusion bomb, something far more devestating than any nuke today.
The Russians detonated the first fusion bomb in the 1950's. First there was the fission bomb then later the fusion bomb, the world has already weaponized fusion bombs.
conversely if we apply physics to this not wikipedia, early fission gave us H bombs and have increased to nukes, Fusion bombs detonate in micro seconds breaking all molecules down at a base level, with zero fallout.
"fun time with red ballons" of course your aware that the song isnt red ballons, just 99 ballons, the word red was added to make the english version scan.
Yeah I know it just means balloons, I took German for 2 years. I just thought more people would recognize it as 99 Red Balloons, so I used red balloons.
Really nice!! I like your honest juxtaposition of the various ideas, leaving interpretation and meaning for the viewer to choose...and the quotes are terrific selections. Superlative!
This was amazingly well done. It brought tears to my eyes, I know I am a dork! I gave it a five and will tell others about it. BTW, I made it my favorite too.
99% ballons,, 1% our world

vielen Dank bungle123. The misunderstanding of the two titles and everyone's "understanding" drives me nuts. I'm glad to see that someone gets it! ;)

if a balloon lays on the ground, that means its filled with air, not helium.. so when you let it go, it falls down ;P

Uh... it means its density is less than the atmosphere around it.
