Peej 0 #6 November 7, 2006 Hehehehehehe. The song i quoted is 99 Red Balloons but the version i was reffering to is by the punk band Goldfinger... here are the lyrics... 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 ballons (99 war ministers Matches and cans of gas Thought they were really smart Thought they found some good prey Yelled war and wanted power Man who would have thought that It would go so far Because of 99 red balloons ) english translation 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....

Cloggy 1 #7 November 7, 2006 And the verse from the original english version that was replaced by the german version of the preceding verse. (Well if that didn't confuse the hell out of ya) Quote Ninety-nine knights of the air Ride super-high-tech jet fighters Everyone's a superhero Everyone's a Captain Kirk With orders to identify To clarify and classify Scramble in the summer sky As ninety-nine red balloons go by As ninety-nine red ballo ons go by Man, ist das lange her...
