99 red balloons Floating in the summer sky Panic bells, it's red alert There's something here from somewhere else The war machine, it springs to life Opens up one eager eye Focusing it on the sky As 99 red balloons go by. 99 Decision Street 99 ministers meet To worry, worry, super-scurry Call out the troops now in a hurry This is what we've waited for This is it, boys, this is war The president is on the line As 99 red balloons go b. Originally written in German by the band Nena, this protest song set in 1983 tells the story of a couple who releases a group of 99 red balloons and their effect on Cold War Germany. The original German version was written by Nena’s drummer Carlo Karges, while at a concert in West Berlin he noticed a large group of balloons released by the crowd moving and morphing in the wind, looking like a UFO.

From the Album 99 Luftballons. Play any song, ad-free. This is the extended album version of 99 Red Balloons. It's worth noting that this is the ENGLISH version. It's not a bad cut, but it's also pretty long, with a lot of instrumental interludes that sort of make the song seem ill-paced. If you really like the synth hooks, you'll like the song, but fans of the politically-charged lyrics might find this version less than satisfying. 12 people found this helpful.
