My dad loved this song. He died unexpectedly earlier this year and it feels so weird that the things he liked and were part of him are still here and he isn't. I miss him so much.
I'm so sorry 🫂🫂🫂
Yeah I heard this a lot thinking it was from some tv show
@@myroseah1537 bro…
It's the circle of life.
Your dad lives on with you
**Whose watching this in 2024
I'm sure a lot of us will listen to this gem of a classic again in 2024. I'm here after listening to the original German version done a year prior to this one.
Especially who feels the Sovietic N target over their head
Me😝
Im listening in 1885 actually
@@stanbai5263 wish I can go back in time
5 year old me: It's such a happy little song about letting red balloons go and watching them float up into the air!
20 year old me: oh.
I knew what the song meant even at 13.

We're playing name that tune :)
@@wendyeskelin8765 Sounds fun whats the URL of the site? Lol.
I stop by every now and then, great song,
Here. But I prefer the original German version
15 hrs later I’m here
I feel like this song is about to get VERY popular all over again...
Yep our band is FINALLY gonna do it ... been begging for years
Billboard #1! Let's go!
I need to mosh to this
@@tjf589 rlly?? That’s wild haha
Nope...
Nena's going to be getting their biggest royalty check in 30 years.
it is Chinese balloons causing the excitement
I certainly hope so
Hope so
Yep.
Lol
Who would have thought that Nena's song about the Cold War would be so relevant in 2024 :/
Looking towards a new cold war, revolutionary War, ww3. Something is going to happen. Another great depression on its way. History repeats itself.
My dad loved this song, unfortunately he died at 99 earlier this year. God rest dad, up there with the red balloons.
died at 99 with the 99 balloons how sweet ❤❤
I remember when this song was released because we were at the height of the Cold War.
I recall thinking that because we and the Soviets were both wound so tight that the unimaginable could happen at any time due to one side misreading the other, either through a human or technical error.
Now here we are 38 years later with the militarys of many nations staring at one another on the land, air and sea with the use of nuclear weapons being put on the table once again.
We're older and again looking into the abyss.
We all should have listened to this song a little closer. 😢
Freaking mad Putin wants WW3
Unfortunately, as we find out today,
in reality, it only takes '1' "Luftballon"
- filling with merely "1" Sociopath's,
Putin's, 'Mad' (EMPty) Ego.
{i.e. In many respects, we've allowed
ourselves to come up to a point (e.g.
Event Horizon) too..o Crazy for fiction.}
{Or: (e.g. an imaginary Singularity)
- for the Mathematically inclined,
being your kids.

I was in the Army, we fully expected hoards of tanks pouring through the Fulda Gap at VERY short notice
Perhaps we should add Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood to the playlist as well...! 😉👍
Suddenly this song is rocketing UP the Top 40 again!
Seriously? Where?
Conjunction Junction? 🤔

People today don't understand the fears that many felt in the 80's. It is not as prevalent as it is today, close, but not quite.
That's for sure. Red Dawn felt like it could really happen.
Cold war
Moscow mules had not penetrated Congress yet.
Mules are a cross of horses and donkeys, so they are always half ass, but smarter than either parent and sterile.
Let's make this song hit the Billboard Top 100!
China is on it
It may if we keep finding objects
@@WBG-du1cz let's make it number 1 again!
99 of them to be exact.
If we were able to, it would most likely be the German version
I see I'm not the only one who thought now is the time to revisit this song.
😂
I have a feeling this song may be popular again real soon.
Who's here in April 2024.
Super dooper song and lyrics ❤❤❤
Me
When I was stationed in West Germany in 1974 this song was 10 years away..but the balloons meant the same thing...
This song is very appropriate for the days we live in !
although Nena's arm pits are more frightening than China's sabre rattling we've had since the shoot-down.
It was appropriate in the 80's too.
@@mr_benn_escapes_lockdown1780 Get over ittle guy.
She warned us back in 84!
'82 actually.
More relevant today than ever!
My mum just died she was 62 and died unexpectedly we’ve chosen this song to be the last one played at the conclusion of her service because it represents her happy upbeat vibrant nature and she loved 1980’s music. This is one of her all time favourites. I’ll miss you mum I love you xx
Sorry for your loss. This was such a tune back then. I'm sure she'll be looking down smiling. 🙏
I was in Germany as a US Army soldier when this song came out. It was like our theme song!
Naturally, the song was widely identified with the Greens Party [and we didn't appreciate their picketing at our gates] but you can hardly call not wanting to be nuked into oblivion while two superpowers duked it out in your front yard a character defect...
Excellent post! Fulda Gap '85.

The whole world can sense this song becoming more relevant by the second.
Yes and us cold war kids have been singing this song in our heads for months now
@@thedutchessofdragonshyre4630 And "Russians" by Sting.
"How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy?" 😔
Well...Putin is doing everything he can to make it outright reality...every time he allows his soldiers to go apeshit on civillians...leaving bodies of 4year olds in the open air..to rot. And leaving hard evidence of "recruiting" women of 16 - 30years old...to "please" the senses of the soldiers. Pressure is RAPIDLY GROWING..to mobilize the USARMY 3RD ARMOR BRIGADE, backed by 200-400 Appache birds , and 100,000 infantrymen..Right on into Ukraine.
😢😢😢😢😢 Putin stop this war or 99 red balloons going to fly and super high octane jet fighters
NO IT CAN'T....YOUR A RED BALLOONITE
I was only 7 years old watching this video on MTV. So many great memories of the 80’s.
Nena is so eexy in this video
@@daverichardson7994 yes she is. What an awesome era for music,tv and movies. I think the 80’s were the peak as far as entertainment is concerned.
@@yankees29 those leather pants on her!
@@daverichardson7994 🤣 indeed
Those leather pants on her
Nena was the reason I took German in High School...just in case we ever met.
"This is what we've waited for,this is it, boys, this is war." This line gets me every time.
Every single time! Especially with her feminine sweet voice! Also the ' It's all over and I'm standing pretty in the dust that was a city!'
Also the way she says "sparks" is something special lol
R.I.P little China balloon, you had such a great short life up there in the sky!
You seemed so happy.
“ I think of you and let it go”… 🥲… I first heard this in 83 as a 14 year old now in my 50’s and life experiences behind me it holds such resonance
I was stationed in West Germany (Lahr) during the Cold War... I love Germany, I love this song! I was there.. in '89 when it all came down.
40 years ago this song was released and now echoes harder than ever before.
Erh no it doesnt
I remember being an 80's kid, terrified of nuclear war and this was the anti war anthem. I love this song in it's original German language and this translation so much. Just mindblowing how powerful this was to me as an 80's child. Much Love to Nena & band!
Yeah I was at 80 kids too but the world is so fucked up nowadays it's ridiculous. The only thing we had to worry about was if your rubber broke
@@caseykelso1 as a teenager i think i prefer the possibility of nuclear war
@@HDilk as a teenager you have to realize that if "they" destroy the world 🌎 .... there's no one left to control ,there's nobody to be enslaved as worker bees(so to speak) ,there's no money to be had ,and there's no materials to be made. After the so-called Elite emerge from their bunkers there will be nothing left. So everybody loses, therefore there will be no nuclear war ever. It's like the vaccine, everybody says the vaccine is bad, but why would the government kill off all of their subjects, they're giving it to the military who's going to defends their country ? 🤔, I used to be trained in grammar school to "duck and cover" , the alarm would go off and we would leave our classrooms and sit in the hallways with their heads between our knees sitting on the floor. And that was very bad for Children's mental health. And they're bitching about masks.... kids wearing masks in school. What about us kids in the 60s that had to hide under our desks for air raid drills. All's I can tell you is common sense and knowing right from wrong is all the Tools you need to stay in front of the curve. 🍸🎓 thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Funny how things have changed. Back then, we worried about being immolated in nuclear fire. Today, they worry about being called by the wrong pronoun. And despite that, we were still a happier bunch by far.
it's actually already going on. Information war, and the Truth is losing in the corporate media completely. Good thing many of us have known this was coming....the technocracy
This hits harder than the shot on that Chinese balloon 🎈
🤣😂✈🎈💥
Did we know we were in the golden age back then? I don't think we realized it. I think we thought it would never end.
Yeahh brother you and me to ;-( but what can we do, time will not stop for you or me .
Listen to Carly Simon "These are the Good Old Days! I think I thought so!
What I didn't know was this song was about someting simple causing WW3.
Look where we are now!
Am I really in love with a girl from the 80s who has the cutest voice singing in English? Yes, ABSOLUTELY
Look at Nena in thosr leather pants
@@nickseibert1263 she's stunning
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of this during current events haha.
One Chad White balloon floats by. ... Instead of just grabbing it the antiWhites use a million dollar missile
Nothing like predicting the future forty years ago.
Back when music was good.
Heard this on the radio today and i had to get home and play it LOUD. Hahaha. I was 13 or 14 when this charted in the UK and i liked it then and still do today.
Good song. In many ways this song is still relevant today.
OMG I thought of this song as soon as the Chinese balloon started hitting the news. This situation is exactly what she is talking about. Plus it gives me a chance to watch Nena again.. SIGH.. I was 14 in 1984 and she took up a lot of my teenage dreams.
I wonder if the pilots who downed the balloon thought they were Captain Kirk...
@@drewping2002 lol.
Same here... :)
Current situation brought me to listen to this again.
Happy 64th Birthday Nena!
I had no idea Nina was such a seasoned treasure..thank you for your awareness...man we are all getting old ..beats not getting old...
Hey, Gen-Xers here we are again...
I'm no wilting flower, but I must admit I burst into tears when I played this today, the first time in many years. My reaction really took me by surprise.
Not alone!
I feel it too
All my life the Boomers told us WWIII was the only future we had to look forward to. Seems like they're doing their best to deliver on that promise. Putin, Biden, Boris Johnson, Steinmeier...they're all still living in 1974.
@@j.ishirofinney1517 people actually think Biden is doing a good job if we get nuked because of him I’m gonna be like a road warrior you know Mad Max will be scrounging off the land and will find every liberal that I can find not this politician I mean every day person I’m gonna purge them from the earth like big stakes like Vlad the Impaler gonna be fun no it won’t be actually but that’s what I’m gonna do
@@waltersobchak7275 I HIGHLY doubt you're even a Gen Xer. You sound more like a Millennial trying to be "edgy."
Thank you Mr Burry
House parties, weed, beer, women...and MuchMusic on in the living room. Playing the shit out of this...and ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Men Without Hats, Dire Sraits, a-ha, Van Halen. The list goes on and on. I want to go back.
Me too
Eric Carmen also had some good songs , I heard he passed away
The '70s was my prime time, but I dated a girl 8 years younger than me in 1983. I would TOTALLY like to go back to those times!! (Hi, Dyanna!!)
40 years on this song still holds up as one of the greatest from 80's if not all time brings back so many good memories
98 balloons to go. Start the countdown.
95 to go
99 Red balloons, floating in the US sky
😆😅🤣😂🤣😅😆
Takes me back to elementary school in california when life was simple
Yeah really simple especially if you were German and half your country was under the tyranny of communism. Good old days of Germany, a full generation removed from the holocaust.
Crazy to see there's still a lot of people comment and listen to this song
This song is prophetic
It's 2023 and we literally live in a Nena song from 40 years ago... What a time to be alive.
🙏🙏❤❤
Yup as i say, its time to renew it sadly
They lived the original version in the forties
Bet we don't get the the good music tho 😢
I've been saying the US has been living in a Dead Kennedys album since 2016.
Great Cold War song. She nailed it.
I miss the 80s so much
Depends on the side of the Wall
@@ValiZidaru Considering the topic of the song, it doesn't really matter wich side of the wall you were on. And the fact, that she published it in 1983, maybe the most dangerous year in the whole cold war. I was six back than. For me it was just a fun song playing in the radio. When I finally understood, what it was all about, I started shivering and crying. Didn't really match my self-image as a cool teenage boy back than.
@@christianhohenstein1422 Lol it mattered, 80s in the east was awful.
@@dixonhill1108 No doubt, but if the bombs would have fallen it wouldn't have mattered, would it?
current events brought me here in 2023
and very fitting that this video originally came out in 1984.
Same. Great song. Very poignant right now
Can anyone else remember when this was a cutesy cool 80's song, and not a prophecy ?
POP
It was always a prophecy...
It was never cutesy, an actual oral history!
Yes in the 80s
It's always been identified as establishment code, being released in Orwell's 1984 & all.
The keyboard player is the most German German I have ever seen.
what do German Germans look like ?
This is it Boys, this is war. So prophetic.
This song is in fashion and in any weather. Greetings from Russia.
Greetings Russia from the USA. Let's spread love around the world
@@johngajdos7950 Agree 🇷🇺🤝🇺🇸 peace.
To Russia with love! In this together.
🎈
And here we are all for the same reason, because when life doesn't make sense, music is therapy. The irony of this song and current events cannot be lost..
Who’s here because they like the song?
GTFO what are you here for umm buddy. THIS SONG IS AMZING. Go tickle your pickle somewhere else.
The tension of this era is captured well in this song
We were literally eyeball to eyeball with our fingers on the button during these days. Graduated High School in 1980...we figured we would all be drafted in a moments notice and sent to Europe. Kind of a miracle that it didn't happen.
From this day forward, this shall be the F-22 pilot walk-up song.
Do you think the pilots are the good guys in this song?
@@icantcomeupwithnames469 I think WOPR got it right when it said "What a strange game. The only way to win is not to play." I also think sarcasm is the best humor.
Viewed 7.1 million times 6 million of those views in last week.
Hard to believe that it's been 40 years since this song was released. That said, this song has aged much better than me.
In 2024 this SONG is SOOOO VERY RELEVANT TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD... SAD
Nearly 40 years later in Montana…one white balloon goes by.
The balloon from Red China - a RED balloon - where are the other 98?
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating o'er the US they spy
Now go to the last verse of the English original...
China only need 1 lone white balloon to get the position too drop the boom
@@RANS87IROCZ only needed 1 white balloon to freak out an entire nation
It was over Kansas City this morning
Who would have ever thought this song would become prophetic?
Not only that - the balloons are distracting from that chemical mess burning in the background
The Almighty was mocking the Biden-meister's so-called administration long before it came to be.
Only in the '80s could such a jaunty, groovy song be written about a nuclear apocalypse.
99th day of the year is April 8th, eclipse day. So this is the best song for that day
I would say that is an uncanny coincidence if that is what I actually thought but nonetheless there was an uncanny planetary alignment going on today. One that is virtually unseen on any typical day and all the more extraordinary when at the same time some devil comet was out there heading our ways. I personally picture a schoolyard bully approaching the little guy (earth) and all the kids on the playground stepping out and facing the bully as if to say; 'want a piece of me?'
The threat of total annihilation hangs over all of our heads like some huge damoclean sword
Don't you know that I don't have a gun. Hahaha hahaha
Bring down the government's of the world.
That’s what John F. Kennedy said.
Yup. It's deja vu all over again :/
This is it boys this is what we've waited for.
Gen Z and at least half of Millennials want nothing more than to die in a war, so...
@@ReptilianLepton gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything. You don't have to comply or give up just bc big brother says so. You can be a wolf or you can be a sheep...your choice.
Now we've got Chinese Spy Balloons!
99 balloons = nearly 20 aces apparently.
Well we have a traitor president and corrupt government and sadly a woke military that let's men dress up in women's uniforms
Crazy 40 yrs later this song couldn't be more truer and if you don't know meaning of the song look it up its scary
If nena is getting royalties she is racking up
My High School Girlfriend and I loved this song. During the summer between our Jr and Senior year she died in a car accident. We were going to be married and have children together. It has been 30 years and I have not forgotten her for even a day. Her parents are really old now. I check in on them from time to time. Her Father is still shattered. He cries every time I stop by.
dang..crazy..so sad.
Truly devastating and sad bro hurts my heart to hear this loss of love ,😢💪✌️💙🙏😔 my deepest condolences to all hurt by this tragedy ,keep the good times together in heart always Godspeed healing especially pops a angel doesn't want him to feel heartbreak of loss.,🙏😔💙💪
Well done you. And long may the visits continue in these horrible times. Greeting from Ireland
bro, listen to the german version, it's 200000000 times better in german
@@milotorres6894 I married a beautiful girl that we were both very good friends with. I have experienced incredible love and good times with my Jenny. We had 6 beautiful children together. All but one is grown up and thriving in the world. Our 14 year old is still at home doing great. She's sassy, but great.
It's odd for an apocalyptic song to be so incredibly catchy.
Almost like its the end of the world.
As we know it.
And I feel fine :)
Would be funny if this song re-entered the charts because of all the UFOs lately!
LOLL
It's in a meme now.
"German woman claims she tried to warn the USA about Chinese balloons 40 years ago" 😄
THE PRESIDENT IS ON THE PHONE WHILE 99 RED BALLOONS GO BY WELL... 97 LEFT TO GO.
That’s why I’m here! Lol! 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky…
you mean all the balloons
Your father was clearly a man of taste. A great song, and despite its upbeat tempo, one of meaning for us children of the Cold War. Holds a special today, as people seem to forget just how close we came to a terminal, no win, situation.
Yeah my generation can't relate, Russia using Nukes seems unrealistic at this point. I mean Putin is threatening to do so daily, but we all know he's not as hard as those USSR guys.

Sunday, February 5, 2023 - loved this song and now it is so relavant
😅 I've been singing it for the last two days since that Chinese balloon was spotted in American airspace..... How fitting really. 😉😏
Loved this song when it came out. Reminds me of the time as a child of the 80’s. The Cold War and threat of nuclear war which seems real.
More relevant at this moment in time than ever
I need some context to understand that comment
@@PervertGenius Do you understand fully the message behind the song 99 Red Ballons? If so it's more relevant than ever right now because NATO/US/The "Collective West" & the Russian Federation are on the edge of a cliff where one mistake, one misinterpretation of the others intentions or actions one misidentification of a radar intercept (the proverbial red ballon) and everything goes to hell in a handbasket.
Cross your fingers, your toes and anything else you got that Russians complete there investigation into to Moscow terror attack and find no indication at all that any western government or intelligence agency had any knowledge or involvement and Ukraine acted completely independently.
Suddenly relevant again.
I started thinking about this song last year.
This song hits differently in these times
I don't know it hits the same for me as when it came out .... but then again we haven't been this close to nuclear war since then.
@@jeffreykeffer4352 Same. I was 13 when this came out, the Cold War was on and the threat of nuclear war was ever present. I'd hoped that was behind us but here we are again it seems.
@@chrisnorcross4652 I just wish I had my amazing nuke resistent school desk to hide under, that training has got to come into play somtime.
I was stationed in Germany in 84 loved this song. If I could go back in time I would have never left Germany, it just felt like home and I miss it sooo much.
Oh the music of my childhood. My neighbors had MTV and I was over there religiously.

1 of the best all time songs ever..seriously girls like this and pat benatar and Cyndi Lauper paved the way for EVERY female singer thanks for a great and amazing song ❤❤❤
Try Patty Smythe and Deborah Harry from the 70's. They're the original ones who paves the way for people like Cyndi Lauper etc.
@@SeanCrowley-ks1mu Sure ofc they did their part too. I'm talking 80s &more modern. If you want the TRUE originals try The Andrew Sisters,Patsy Cline& Billy Holliday, Dinah Shore, Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day & June Carter for starters. But throw in Janis Joplin & Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt + the 2 girls from ABBA & Mama Cass of the Mama s&The Papas While your at it. You can connect a LONG list of dots to all the wonderful female singers who helped pave the road for today's female singers.
We all went crazy over this song when it came out and didn't even know what it was about.
I still don't know what it's about, lol.
From the lyrics, it sounds like aliens are attacking Earth.
It’s about balloons being confused for nukes and accidentally starting a nuclear war

@@h.f6364 Red Commie! I'm libertarian not a rich capital extremist like you described.
Just as potent and perfect today as it was in 84, it's like a time warp and suddenly this song fits perfect with the time. As a Gen-Xer this is a scary flash back in real time. I would really like to see this released. I think it would chart all over again.
I flew with the US Navy during the 1980s identifying, clarifying, classifying...
Takes me right back to 1983-84, I was playing drums and singing some with my brother's street fairs band "silver wings ✈️ test flight" and carrying a big crush on NENA, watching this video on MTV.
I always loved her and her leather pants
This song coming back but not in the way I want 💀
😢
This song gives me chills right now:(
They should be playing this on loudspeakers in Moscow
They would not care.
They do not control poopin'.
The song like a time warp. Hearing it now in 2021 take me back decades I feel like I’m 17 again. The music is fresh everything is beautiful. 99 balloons are still floating by, Except I am no longer the beginning of my life but I’m nearing the end of it.

indeed...only GenX had bands that revealed the fears of the Cold War....and make it sound pop and happy
The people who knows what behind this song😢😢
Good music never gets old. I love both the English and German versions.
I served in the US Army Europe (USAEUR), 1986-89, FIre Direction Control for 8 inch howitzers. Nuclear. In April, 86 we were on alert with active weapons, someone played 99 Luft Balloons over the clear admin radio channel, the German version. We sat at our fire control computers as the song came over our headsets, hopefully the East Germans and Soviets would intercept the transmission and get the hint, that we shouldn't be too reflexive and want a war. We received stand down orders two hours later and we went back to base from our LOD positions. Stowed our gear and vehicles, they trucked the nukes back to the bunker. No nuclear war today. Got silly drunk that night, replayed the song in a happy mode. The song had a real effect.
16S Stingers 83-86.
You lived this song. Had to be a defining moment in your life.
Ronald Reagan didn't blink !
Nukes are fake.
@@gp. It's sad that the USA is filled with people like you who parrot lies without thinking.
It was 100 Balloons until a few week ago.....
Can't believe this song is 40 years old, I remember hearing the remix that came out in the late 90s on the radio and thought it was awesome, several years later I found out about the original song...
I grew up with this and the german verison 99 luftballons. very talented people.
This was my favourite song when I was younger..
I didn't know this song was about war
