I remember one time discussing the lyrics of this song with my mom. We both realized we didn't know any of the words except for the 99 luftballoons bit, looked it up, then finally realized most of the song is in German.
"most of"? Like... The whole song?
Well, except for the Captain Kirk part.
And by "part" you mean the exact two words "Captain" and "Kirk"?
Yeah, that part
MY DEAF ASS THOUGHT PART OF IT WAS IN ENGLISH - why am I like this ?! 😂 (I have cochlear implants).
The original artist (Nena) also has an English version, titled 99 Red Balloons. Though I do like the Goldfinger cover as well.
