I was a young U.S. soldier stationed in Pirmasens, West Germany (at the time) when this song came out. I didn't know the words, but I knew what it was about. One day I was out on a day off with a German soldier friend of mine, and we were visiting a wooded area that had seen heavy fighting between the Germans and Allies during WWII. I remember thinking at the time how just a few decades earlier instead of being friends, we would have had to try to kill each other out there. In those days (1983), one of the things we (those in charge) were worried about was a possible soviet tank led invasion into Western Europe via Czechoslovakia. It's a shame. Now, almost 40 years later and after it seemed that all of that was over, we're back to worrying about war with Russia again. It's really a shame because those who have to do the actual fighting are just normal people who could easily be friends if given the chance.

I think post cold war era of peace was the exception, not the rule. Rise of global trade, advancement of technology, fall of global military tensions all generally led to more globally open tendencies than nationalistic sentiments in general. Of course there was Yugoslavia, and that was horrible. But the whole world in general I think found joy in the tension of cold war ending. I guess now tendencies are going back to nationalistic sentiments ariund the world. Conflict among different nations will eventually lead to less global economic prosperity and rising military tensions :(

The lyrics of the original German version tell a story: 99 balloons are mistaken for UFOs, causing a general to send pilots to investigate. Finding nothing but balloons, the pilots put on a large show of fire power. The display of force worries the nations along the borders and the war ministers on each side encourage conflict to grab power for themselves. In the end, a cataclysmic war results from the otherwise harmless flight of balloons and causes devastation on all sides without a victor, as indicated in the denouement of the song: "99 Jahre Krieg ließen keinen Platz für Sieger," which means "99 years of war have left no place for winners." The anti-war song finishes with the singer walking through the devastated ruins of the world and finding a single balloon. The description of what happens in the final line of the piece is the same in German and English: "Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen," or "I think of you and let it go." Love this song !!!!

Hi everyone,I'm from India. 99 LB is super relevant at the end of 2021 because Russian foreign minister Ryabkov just said the world is heading to a nuclear war crisis because of NATO's position on Ukraine. Also, influential US Senator Roger Wicker said the USA might have to soon fight a nuclear war against Russia to defend Ukraine. _But do not worry because one of the greatest scientists in history, Sir Isaac Newton,(the discoverer of gravity and the Laws of Motion) said Jesus Christ will return to earth this century._ I believe this too. Jesus will stop the wars that humanity is constantly engaging in and the pollution we are causing . He will usher in an era of peace because he is the Prince of Peace. Btw for the German speakers here, your amazing scientists Johannes Kepler and Leonard Euler were devout Christians. And the world famous Latino scientist Juan Maldacena is a devout believer too and so were the Wright Brothers who invented the airplane! _My ancestors in India were converted by Christ's apostles Thomas._ Take care everyone and remember to be extra kind to your family/friends and strangers :)

A lot of people seem to be missing the point of this song. Saying how hot Nina is, great song (all true btw!). But its about fearing something insubstantial like a balloon, and striking out. And the consequences of that escalating when you have nukes. A message our leaders need to get right now. Probably a lot of people forget about or weren't alive when the US and USSR were confronting each other in the Cold War. A stupid mistake, a wrong word could precipitate the Apocalypse.

@@glenhardy4770 They changed the name (i.e. added 'red') for the syllable. Because (as you noted) Germans call what we just call 'balloons', "luftballons" (= "air-balloons") it didn't scan without an extra syllable. And as the term "air-balloons" sounds odd in English parlance, they opted for adding a colour.

The upper limit of national airspace is not defined by international law. According to Wikipedia, an altitude of between 60 and 110 km is normally assumed as the airspace upper limit for the sovereign territory. When the U2 was still regularly conducting espionage flights, it was actually defined by the Russian air defense systems ;) :) Re-entry vehicles from space have to cope with massive friction from about 120 km. A lot of things (like Russia's border transgression) should finally be regulated at the UN by international agreement... So I'd suggest to meet there half way and talk finally about the limitation of UN-SC member's veto rights and the reduction of the quorum for a peace keeping mission to a 2/3 majority !
