99 Luft Balloons, Nena


Who says Germans cannot rock? Here is proof they can.

This is one of the best New Wave songs, and I do prefer the version in German. The English version is wishy washy.

This 1984 song has a great arrangement, with good synthesizer, bass and guitar parts. The playing is tight, and the singer very charming. The lyrics (in English and German) have social meaning, something that is barely found in today's music.

If you have never see it, now is the time.
