In the Eightie's there was this song called Ninety Nine Red Balloons. The song was a hit in America and Germany. Well that song was sung in German first by the same artist. I honestly feel that the German version was sung better than the American version. The song even had a bit in the show "Scrubs". You know things can get lost in translation and things like that.
The song is about Nuclear War. Nena the artist hates Nuclear War and the song is a protest against Nuclear War. So in the song she released ninety nine red balloons in Germany. The Balloons represent the hopes and future of Germany. In the song's lyric's a radar picks up the red balloon accidentally. In response to this fighter jets are sent out to intercept it. This is funny because the object is just ninety nine balloons.
