Nena - 99 Luftballons

Kudos for picking the German version.
It'll be a case of which version was a hit in your territory. We got the English lyrics but America and others got the German version. Weird.
In Canada, it was primarily the English version, but occasionally the German was played.
My main memory of that time is her ridiculolusly German armpits on Top of the Pops. It was the talk of the playground.
Certainly was 😳

No, it was a mainland Europe thing. Same as they all clap on a different beat to the British.

Ha! Same. When I did my lecture on rock music and nuclear war, I talked a bit about the song and said that most of us were probably more traumatized by her pit hair than the idea of apocalypse.

Well Americans are well known for being open minded towards other cultures and languages.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
