Red Balloons?
8 05 2008I have no idea why but I woke up with this song stuck in my head. Fortunately it’s not too irritating a song but what does puzzle me is “where the hell did it come from?”. I’m not talking about who sang it or anything, I wanna know what or who stuck it in my head!!!
I haven’t heard it for AGES so I cant understand why it’s here now and doing my head in. Maybe I’m just going nuts!
If anyone could shed some light on some deeper meaning I would be most grateful.In the meantime I will just keep whistling and humming it and pissing my colleagues off.
Original
EuroTrip Version! VERY KEWL!
Not a bad tune though!
One of my favorite movies is a slient flim i saw when i was little… at least i think it was silent! ?? (there is a chance my parents just turned the sound off)….anyway it was called “The Boy and the Red Balloon”. Very moving…and i still remember it to this day!
Check these out…it’s funny (it shouldnt be at this stage!) but i was thinking about it just the other day…i love that song it makes me want to cry!

Holy crap I never knew there was an English version.
KT - Why have I never heard of that movie? And sorry for making you want to cry!
Payne - Go get some Red Balloons in Japan!
s_20 - There’s another version?
s_20 its a silent movie…there is no need for an English or any other version. HAHAHA
Hello - the song 99 Red Balloons was originally sung in German and then Nena (the singer) made an English version as it was so popular. I think is a song about protesting again something… not sure! Being married to a German - i get told the story often
not sure if that is any help at all but it is a good song!
It’s just a generic anti-war song really.
The tune’s catchy though.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH thats so funny i totally forgot we were talking about the song..i had so moved onto the movie!!
sorry my bad!
