99 (godd*mn) Red (motherfarking) Balloons!

[Bunny]

That song has been in my head since Wednesday. If I don't get rid of it soon, I'm going to jump out the window! Head first!

The worst part is that I only know those three words: 99 Red Balloons. Over and over in my head they play. Somebody please - make it stop!!!!!

[MissMillie]

1. I can get that song out of your head

but I warn you, the cure is worse than the disease.

[Bunny]

2. I'll try anything.

:scared:

[MissMillie]

10. Don't say I didn't warn you

*ahem*


Her name was Lola
She was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair
And a dress cut down to there
She would meringue
And do the Cha-Cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor
They worked from 8 to 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havanah
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion where always the fashion at the Copa....
They fell in love


His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair
He saw Lola dancing there
and when she finished
He called her over
But Rico went a bit too far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew
And chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gunshot
But just who shot who

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havanah
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion where always the fashion at the Copa....
She lost her love.....


Her name was Lola
She was a showgirl
But that was many years ago
When they used to have a show
Now it's a disco
but not for Lola
Still in that dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined
And drinks her self half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havanah
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion where always the fashion at the Copa....
Don't fall in love.....

3. Yeah, it's a damn catchy song

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst du vielleicht g'rad an mich
Singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und das sowas von sowas kommt

99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für Ufos aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
'Ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben wenn's so wär
Dabei war'n dort am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons

99 Düsenflieger
Jeder war ein grosser Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Das gab ein grosses Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons

99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Man wer hätte das gedacht
Das es einmal so weit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons

Wegen 99 Luftballons

99 Luftballons

99 Jahre Krieg
Liessen keinen Platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh ich meine Runden
Seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab' 'nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen

[Beer Snob-50]

23. I am impressed

the german version! I had that album and loved the german tracks on it.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

25. I studied German in school

so it's the version I memorized.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

4. Dupe from hell

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. Guranteed to make it stop

it's a small world after all...it's a small world after all...it's a small world after all...it's a small, small world

*lather, rinse, repeat*

[RubyDuby in GA]

13. Oh sweet Jesus NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. Thanks a lot. That's the one song that can totally make me snap and kill little Eskimos.

Years ago I was at Disney World and on that ride. It stopped. And didn't start up again. They had us stuck on this ride for over 3 hours. They wouldn't let us off and they wouldn't shut off the god damned song. I happened to be stopped in front of the little Eskimo kid.

I'm not kidding. I freak out when I hear that song. It's like flashbacks from 'Nam (only joking, I mean no disrespect whatsoever to any vet who lived through that hell).

On edit: I had La Bamba stuck in my head for 2 weeks once. Pure, unadulterated HELL.

[Reverend_Smitty]

6. Thats nothing...

I got Afternoon Delight stuck in my head...my damn friend starts singing that every time I see him. He really needs to stop watching Anchorman!

[tridim]

7. I like that song

It could be worse, you could have "Oops I did it again" in your head. I got caught singing it once at work and my coworkers never let me live it down. One guy kept asking me over and over if I had bought the new Brittany album yet. :)

[driver8]

8. You are lucky...the song I usually have in my head is from my

daughter's "Potty Time" tape...

"She's a super, duper pooper...
She knows when she has to go..."

Try that one on for size!

[BurtWorm]

9. 99 Luftballoons on the wall, 99 luftballoons

You take one down and pass it around
98 luftballoons on the wall.

[MikeG]

11. Come on Aileen........

[pres2032]

12. sweeeeeet Caroline!

that should do it. :-D

[warrens]

14. Get the 7 Seconds version

Kevin Seconds vocals actually make the song fun. Sorta like what Lemonheads did with Luka.

[WilliamPitt]

15. Agreed

[BlueJazz]

16. Hey..It could be worse.

20. That is the first time I have ever seen the complete lyrics to that song!

They were always such a mystery to me, and now the secret is revealed! :P

[VelmaD]

17. Try this one if you know it...

I like traffic lights
I like traffic light
I like traffic lights
But only when they're red (when they're red)

He likes traffic lights
He likes traffic lights
He likes traffic lights
That is what he said (what he said)

I like traffic lights
I like traffic light
I like traffic lights
But only when they're green (when they're green)

He likes traffic lights
He likes traffic lights
He likes traffic lights
That is to be seen (to be seen)

Not everyone knows it...but it works for me every time. Good luck. :)

[Arkana]

18. A little Goldfinger, eh?

Well, it could be worse...you could have the "It's A Small World" earworm. :scared:

[Bunny]

19. Well, thanks everyone for your help.

I've got quite a selection of new songs to choose from! I will blend them into one: *Her name was small world, or maybe aileen, take her down, pass it around for afternoon delights, oops I sooper dooper pooped again, with Caroline, at the traffic light*.

Well, that'll give me something new to chew on. Thanks folks.

[LynzM]

21. LMAO

Don't do that to a girl at work, man! You're gonna get me in trouble! :)

[Richardo]

24. "Her name was small world...."

Now I've got THAT in my head. :crazy: Hahahahahahaha!

Brings up a philosophical question - what's more annoying, the lyric or the tune? :think:

[Bunny]

26. Oh the tune, for certain.

That god-awful tune! :silly:

[Richardo]

27. That reminds me. My brother was once doing a parody of Hunchback of Notre

Dame...the musical.

"His name was Quasi...
He was a hunchback.
One look at him
You get your lunch back..." :D

Needless to say, I remember it to this day.

[Bunny]

28. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

That's a good one! :thumbsup:

[liontamer]

22. english version?

just listen to the song the whole way through. Your brain's just waiting for "this is it boys this is war" to be played
