Don't You Want Me Baby Human League
Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

A live performance of Voices Carry by 'Til Tuesday. One of my most favorite songs.

I saw Nena - 99 Luftballoons in the UK. Audience participation on this number sends chills of joy down your spine. Simply wonderful!

Speaking of music my mom wouldn't like. She probably would have dragged my stereo system out of the house with a tractor if she'd heard me play Eddie Van Halen's: Eruption Solo! LOL

Great song. Hope that between them Putin and Trump don't make it prophetic.

You and me both. Lyrics [Intro] You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got Set them free at the break of dawn 'til one by one, they were gone Back at base, bugs in the software Flash the message, "Something's out there" Floating in the summer sky 99 red balloons go by [Interlude] [Verse 1] 99 red balloons Floating in the summer sky Panic bells, it's red alert There's something here from somewhere else The war machine, it springs to life Opens up one eager eye Focusing it on the sky As 99 red balloons go by [Verse 2] 99 Decision Street 99 ministers meet To worry, worry, super-scurry Call out the troops now in a hurry This is what we've waited for This is it, boys, this is war The president is on the line As 99 red balloons go by [Verse 3] 99 knights of the air Ride super high-tech jet fighters Everyone's a super hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk With orders to identify To clarify and classify Scramble in the summer sky 99 red balloons go by 99 red balloons go by [Verse 4] 99 dreams I have had In every one a red balloon It's all over and I'm standin' pretty In this dust that was a city If I could find a souvenir Just to prove the world was here... And here is, a red balloon I think of you and let it go Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

We Are The World There comes a time When we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all We can't go on Pretending day-by-day That someone, somewhere soon make a change We're all a part of God's great big family And the truth, you know, love is all we need We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me Oh, send them your heart So they know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stones to bread And so we all must lend a helping hand We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving Oh, there's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all But if you just believe there's no way we can fall Well, well, well, well let us realize Oh, that a change can only come When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and mee We are the world (are the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who'll make a brighter day, so let's start giving (so let's start giving) There is a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me Oh, let me hear you!

Thanks for the translation of Luftbalon. I've enjoyed this over the years, but only heard it performed in German. Never understood the meanings because my German was so weak.

As I understand it, those are the English Lyrics which are NOT a translation of the German lyrics. Although I've never seen specifics on what the difference is, just that the "story" is different. .
. . Answers! I got lots of answers! (Now if I could just find the right questions.) |

There were three versions of it actually...
The German version already posted. The German/English version. The English version. The details of the chicken and the egg of this song reads like a cult legend.
