Hast Du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für Dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst Du vielleicht g'rad an mich
Dann singe ich einen Lied für Dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass so was von so was kommt
99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für UFOs aus dem All
Darum schickte eine General
'Ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn es so wär
Dabei war'n da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons
99 Düsenflieger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Es gab ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons
99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen, Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons
Wegen 99 Luftballons
99 Luftballons
99 Jahre Krieg
Ließen keinen Platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh' ich meine Runden
Seh die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab 'n Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an Dich und lass' ihn fliegen
Dann singe ich ein Lied für Dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont

Interesting so they took that intro riff from T Rex. I heard at the end of the previous track (Mambo Sun) and was like where have heard that before?? Thanks for the answer William.
Well, the 80´s, ugly clothes, paranoid politics and awful music.
Das tut mir in den Ohren weh
Seriously, Bill? WTF? Make it stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As i'm from Austria (not Australia :D ), this is a part of our culture and history, for sure, for many people outside of europe, this is "only" a pop song. But it's so much more for us. Thanks for playing this!

I dance to this daily.
I don't get hating something because it's pop vs. some more sophisticated music. It's like saying ice cream is terrible because it's not Lobster Newberg.
If this song is merely ice cream, then it's well made, tasty ice cream and sometimes I'm in the mood for that.
Thank you Bill for keeping it on the playlist!

They performed this on TOTP in German when it was at No.1 - fantastic -
I dance to this song, have to give it 10/10
Obviously a 9.
YES, a NEIN... a nine.

Song about an incident what happened in the days of the cold war,while I was stationed there with the Air Force:
In a small town of the DDR (aka "East Germany"), a small DDR town was celebrating a 100th anniversary, launching 99 balloons (aluminum-coated)... not far from the east-west German border the aluminumized balloons created a "blind-spot" (cloud) on western radar waning systems... triggering an alert warning for "suspicious activity" a common cat-and-mouse game occasionally played by the Soviets (strongly NOT recommended by the Russians, particularly so close to the border)... the west began a flurry of inquiries to the Russians, along with activating defense systems (to include launching offensive military aircraft... the Russians stated "they had no idea" (they really didn't)... mistrustful of the Russian response, western authorities recommended explaining on what was going on in their own back yard... after several extremely tense minutes/hours it was eventually figured out... alerted systems (on both sides) slowly tuned down the volume and recalled alerted attack aircraft... never happened again on my time... communications procedures were also improved (as the West German press went bananas)

Not a great tune, but brings back so many memories of younger time. A solid 7, maybe more after a few shots.
Ooooh.
Nena in black leather pants. Hairy arm pits. Kicking red balloons around in a battle field. What a video!

i wonder if Stanislav Petrov ever listened to this song...
Thanks, RP, and Nena, for the memories! My God, what a PARTY that summer of '83 was in Boulder! Ahh, but those were different times... The old Hilton Harvest House used to host the best Friday Afternoon Club in town. I was just 21, and my head was, like, floating in the breeze, man... There was live music in the lush courtyard, and all sorts of activities amid the tennis courts and bike and pedestrian paths along Boulder Creek behind. I met wild and winsome Cindy from Gunbarrel there, and while we reclined in the grass and smoked a doobie, the band was playing THIS SONG... Someone let some balloons go. Many tasty adult beverages were served. We danced like happy celebrants, and that was quite a night to remember...
No for me, not ever, never.

For me, it's not great music but great 70s pop and has a special place in my memory. The German language version is of course the best.

This song reminds me of my Army Brat childhood--I spent 6 years growing up in West Germany on and around various military installations during this time period. In 1983 we were stationed in Pirmasens, West Germany at a base with US Army tactical nukes. I think the majority of the folks back in the US--at least the kids my age--were utterly oblivious to what it was like in Europe at the time dealing with the Soviets. I was just a kid, but my classmates and I were pretty certain there was gonna be a nuclear war at any moment.
As i'm from Austria (not Australia :D ), this is a part of our culture and history, for sure, for many people outside of europe, this is "only" a pop song. But it's so much more for us. Thanks for playing this!
Oh my sainted aunt, I cannot do this one.
Yeahhhh German Cult Song...one oft the best anty war. Nena - still under attacks because of here standing against control and restritions during last years agenda here in Germany.
Ooooh.

Fortunately even in 1983 early warning radars were able to distinguish between a bunch of balloons and a flock of Soviet ICBMs inbound over the North Pole.
Takes me back to being 16 ,on CND protest in Blackburn Lancashire UK. This song (English version) together with Give peace a chance were on continuos loop ,for the duration of our march.
Jepp, deutsche Version.
The most delicious of 80s cheese...
Seems like history is repeating - a few balloons have been shot down a few days ago again 
Given all the stuff that has been flying across America lately, this song has suddenly become relevant again!
And then the Chinese Spy Balloon of January/February 2023 brought this song back to people's minds.
Love it...takes me instantly back to a skiing holiday in Livigno, Italy, 1983, constantly played on the long draglifts. Thanks, Bill
I always remember seeing the video and thinking "what the...girls have hairy armpits too?!". I was young, I got over it.

A great cover version:
99 LUFTBALLONS by KALEIDA (Atomic Blonde Soundtrack)
Kaleida are an English electropop duo from London, England, formed in 2013. The band consists of vocalist Christina Wood and keyboardist Cicely Goulder.

I never imagined this song would become relevant again in the same sort of "Cold War In Europe" way.
Next thing you know we'll have to be putting it back to back with "Nikita", and maybe "Moonlight And Vodka" by Chris DeBurgh.
Goldfinger does an AMAZING cover of this.

Always preferred this German version over English...but understood why they did it in both languages.
Such fun!

Now, if she dumped you for playing this to her, perhaps it wasn't for the worst :)
My girlfriend was living in Germany when this came out. The year before we had gone to a massive anti-nuke demonstration together, so it made me think of her, of course. When she came back and I played the tape, she rolled her eyes.
That was when it became pretty clear she was going to dump me.

Totally a guilty pleasure for me. Reminds me of good times growing up in New Jersey, without a care in the world.

how anyone could rate this less than a 10 is beyond me. One of the greatest songs of all time. Ushering in the 80's with cold-war era music and post-punk. Simply amazing.

This song always brings back memories of watching MTV in 1983 with my girlfriend. At the time, this song/video was in fairly heavy rotation.

but a second play within 4 weeks seems a bit excessive!

Please play the song"?" from their second album of the same title (from 1983) - very beautiful! Please also play Tom Schilling's original version of "Major Tom" (1982); way better than the English version you play so often.

Being a fellow German, this gives me an overdose of Fremdscham ("vicarious embarrassment" would be a rough translation). I envy everyone not understanding the crappy lyrics...
A friend of mine spent the night with Nena's brother.
This is the dumbest song ever.

What about some Nina Hagen instead? From the first two albums? (As I know that my proposal about Can the other day turns out to be a hopeless one....)
