Exactly. But I'm voting for Slayer to set them even.

Both the versions are excellent.Nena ruuuuleezzzzzz pokkeherrie!

Off topic,i know,but Nena's german roots somehow reminded me of Nina Hagen and this website about her wich is excellently designed.I just wish i could read german.

nah, the german one flows and has original lyrics.

the english lyrics version isn't a close translation but has almost entirely different content. i've always thought it was really cheesy, it sounds like it was done in 15 minutes. on top of that it just doesn't flow that much like it does in the original version. just compare the two:

99 luftballons

99 red balloons

"you and i in a little toy shop"!??? terrible! the last stanza also sounds horrible in english.


of course good old slayer

Buy Yourself A German Book,and Startreading Lazy Bone (comment For Myself?)


Or Vote For Nena Rena

culture club song? :confused:

nina hagen - unbeschreiblich weiblich on dutch television
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osq0rJdt0Yc

both her band and the lyrics are pretty cheesy, but i love the song!

I can see what you mean.English translations from foreign lyrics are genereally crap.

I Saw Nena But For Now I Can Hear No Sound

I Do You A Favour And Go Looking For The Soundboxes

Vote For Slayer(= A Lie)

Mandatory Suicide might actually be a better war song by Slayer.

You Mabe Right But I Just Don T Know

Has to be Nena for me. She was quite fit wasn't she? Or was I just really young...maybe I'm thinking of Tiffany...no, she definately wasn't hot....

99 luftballons oh boy.

fuck you hippie!! slayer owns.

vote for killer hippie

the owner is a dirty pig

Nuclear War by Sun Ra would've been a good choice
I went with 99 Luftballons. One of the best songs to do the robot to

merci cherish

GWWAAARRRR

Still no votes for SOAD. I was given to understand that they are very popular with the kids.

hah yeah i was jsut htinking that

It makes me realise how old I am. I think I'm cool and hip and street, I think I know what 'the kids' are into, but really I haven't got a clue, have I? I'm like a teacher doing the 'robot' dance at the school disco.

hah nah you're defintely hip. maybe even more than a lot young kids these days

Appreciated. :)

Who the hell voted for OMD?

Ha Ha
That's what I'd like to know.

i voted for the Luftballons, but it is actually the only song I know from the list.
i really like the singing part and that story about the luftballons perceived as a threat in the horizon, but that supposedly bouncy instrumental bridge... i must admit i have a hard time getting into it...

nina hagen now appears on german tv on shows like "pop idol" (or whatever they are called... maybe "Deutschland sucht eine neue Star"...)... never really watched that for more than 5 seconds, so I don't really know how she is like these days...
