Well, that’s disappointing.
What most people dont realize is that 99 Luftballons - as well as other early songs - where done by the whole band, as opposed to the singer’s later solo songs. So I feel like with 99 Luftballons we can simply go “four nice guys and one crazy lady”.

It’s a good song, but what the fuck was the English release about? 🤣
The story of the song (English and German) is about someone releasing balloons causing a radar operator to mistake them for nuclear weapons and starting World War III.
False alarm of this nature were disturbingly common.
Edit: In the German version the balloons are mistaken for UFOs. Here’s a direct comparison between the two versions.
