Newly discovered awesome song
99 Luftballoons by Nena. Man I dunno what that chick is singing about, but she's great. I can't get it out of my head.

You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got Set them free at the break of dawn Til one by one, they were gone Back at base bugs in the software Flash the message, something's out there Floating in the summer sky 99 red balloons go by 99 red balloons Floating in the summer sky Panic bells it's red alert There's something here from somewhere else The war machine 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 flurry Call the troops out 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 by 99 knights of the air Ride super high tech jet fighters Everyone's a super hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk With orders to identify To clarify, and classify Scramble in the summer sky 99 red balloons go by 99 dreams I have had In every one a red balloon It's all over and I'm standing pretty In this dust that was a city If I could find a souvenir Just to prove the world was here And here is a red balloon I think of you, and let it go [/ QUOTE ] It's about nuclear proliferation. |

I remember that video when I was growing up overseas. I was soooo ready to rub one out until she lifted up her arms. Took me a few weeks to recover.

Re: Newly discovered awesome song
I remember when Goldfinger covered the song on one of their albums (stomping grounds it think). I also remember when it was featured on one of the radio stations in GTA: Vice City. Needless to say it is a cool song, but about 2 decades old.

Re: Newly discovered awesome song
I remember when it came out being an old fart, there are also quite a few decent punk covers of the song knocking about.
It is also the most hardest somg on Donky Kong Jungle beat on gamecub, with the drum things anyway. |
