HOLY SHIT 99 RED Balloons is a cover... (1 Viewer)

[Abu Ghurayb]

isnt it about a chick releasing balloons and theyre mistaken for nuclear bombs and it starts a nuclear holocaust (only one l, sam)?

Anyone who mistakes red balloons for nuclear bombs deserves to be wiped out in a nuclear strike.

Holocaust refers to the destruction (usually) of a race of people. You'd find there were two holocausts in the Second World War - Nazi Germany with anyone other than the Aryan race, and extending beyond the Jews. As well as the Japanese massacring the Chinese for almost a decade, which is commonly refered to the Forgotten Holocaust, for obvious reasons.

It is possible to have a nuclear holocaust - if, as a result of a nuclear war or fallout, a large proportion of any given race is killed, it would be a nuclear holocaust.

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-scurry.
Call out the troops now 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 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich fuer schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer haette das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballoons

99 war-ministers
Matchs and gas cans
thought they were really smart
thought that they had found some good prey
cried: war and wanted power
Man, who would have thought that
this would go so far
Because of 99 red balloons (english version)

99 dreams I have had,
And every one, a red balloon.
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In the dust that was a city.
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here...
And here it is, a red balloon
I think of you and let it go...

omg! I know that song!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

err.. no. I think you're getting confused with the term 'genocide'. A holocaust simply refers to a massive slaughter.

errr no it actually means destruction by fire... look it up

I first heard this song on a drifting video that i downloaded.

Goldfingers cover is the best by far, but the original by Nena is still pretty cool.

 

[ChrisE]

Wegen neunundneunzig Luftballons
Neunundneunzig Luftballons

Woah. It's bizarre seeing the lyrics. Normally I just make words up so that they sound German.

 

[teenie]

ohhh its all good turbotom dont worry, its a valid mistake!!! i really dont blame you, its not like the original was in your time... anyway the goldfinger version is more popular and better known within our generation

oh its such an awesome song though, so damn catchy too!!! but then again, im not complaining!!!
