IT"S A GREAT SONG. one of the all time great.

sharp, poingiant lyrics that paint the story of that plucky flock of balloons that started a nuclear war.

and the music is funky. yes

Ich Bin Nackt by Stereo Total

ich bin nackt
ganz nackisch
na und
ich bin nackt
so hat mich meine mutter gemacht

ich bin nackt
na und
es muss sein
meine kleider sind zu klein

ich bin nackt
der nachbar steht am fenster
mir egal
so will es die natur

reg dich nicht auf
kauf mir ein neues kleid
ich hab nichts anzuziehen
tut es dir nicht leid

ich bin nackt
ganz nackisch
na und
mir egal
so will es die natur

das der nachbar meine titten sieht
wird er überleben
er hat einen fernseher

vielleicht hat er keine freundin
du hast eine ohne kleider
nicht so toll aber immerhin
braucht du mich nicht auszuziehen

ich bin nackt
ganz nackisch
ich bin nackt
so hat mich meine mutter gemacht

nackt
nackisch
nackt
nackisch

I know my German is a bit rusty, but is that the Oscar Meyer Weiner song?

It's not far from it, that's for sure.

I was on a french exchange trip when the song was out. I met a hairy arm pitted french girl and had a snog. Whilst in France I purchased the 72 vinyl disc. Ive never played it though as it had a big hole in the middle.

99 dreams I have had, each one of them a red ballon. I not sure who was more naive Nena or Me

"Neunundneunzig Luftballons" is one of THE classical popsongs of the 20th century. The song HAS to be sung in German language, because this is, in my view, part of the whole atmosphere and meaning of the song.

do the German lyrics translate to the English lyrics? or is it completely different?

it's not an exact translation, but it comes close content-wise.

Nina was hot. Still, as far as German songs go, I prefer "Du Hast".

In which case I still regard it as a piece of pop-cr*p. The English version is only for tweenies.
