by Nena
99 Luftballons was written by Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen, and first appeared in 1983 on the self-titled album Nena. 99 Luftballons is an anti-war Neue Deutsche Welle pop-rock song with German lyrics by Carlo Karges, imagining a cascade toward nuclear conflict after a group of balloons is mistaken for a military threat. The song became an international hit, topping charts in several countries and later inspiring the English-language version 99 Red Balloons, securing its place as one of the 1980s’ most recognizable protest songs.
