I used to be able to sing it, in german, but not anymore.

[MysticalChicken]

6. German version

although this is what I sing when I try to sing along with the chorus:

"99 luftballons
Da da da da, something something
I don't know the words to this song
'Cause I don't know any fucking German..."

[texas1928]

7. Do you end up sounding like Drew Barrymore's character in the Wedding Singer?

[MysticalChicken]

11. Probably...

I've only seen that movie once or twice, though, so I can't remember how she sings it.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

8. Luft Off!

My son played that song over and over when he was 4 and 5 --- He learned it in both languages -- he was THE Nena fan.

He's since moved on to other things -- After Nena he found Queen... We just left the Beatles and are now in the Rolling Stones era ---- I wonder what lies ahead?
