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

porkmarras 10.06.2006 03:51 AM

Both the versions are excellent.Nena ruuuuleezzzzzz pokkeherrie!

porkmarras 10.06.2006 03:59 AM

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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzCU1Kc8ic8

99 red balloons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEQSh2KcZcM
"you and i in a little toy shop"!??? terrible! the last stanza also sounds horrible in english.


of course good old slayer

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

blue sunlover 10.06.2006 05:07 AM

I Do You A Favour And Go Looking For The Soundboxes

blue sunlover 10.06.2006 05:30 AM

Vote For Slayer(= A Lie)

pokkeherrie 10.06.2006 05:35 AM

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

blue sunlover 10.06.2006 05:46 AM

You Mabe Right But I Just Don T Know

sonik death 10.06.2006 08:46 AM

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....

Trasher02 10.06.2006 10:30 AM

99 luftballons oh boy.

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

blue sunlover 10.06.2006 11:21 AM

merci cherish
