Which in turn made the other nations launch their nukes so everyone launched nukes and destroyed the entire world until there was literally nothing left apart from 1 girl searching for any sign of civilazation left at all anywhere, she finds one balloon and lets it go. Das fucked up. You can tell it's German (no offense intended) American kids stuff wouldn't touch that. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:905916710] in Man 99 Luf...

Nah it's about the Cold War. The songs theme is that we mistook a ballon for an attack and retaliated which in turn was retalitated by others. It's a fantastic song though. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X <cite>Zeeak4444 posted [p:905917992] in Man 99 Luf...

pegusus123456 07/30/18 3:03:41 AM #14:	The original song doesn't actually mention nukes, it's just 99 years of war. The pilots shoot at the balloons (I think just to goof off) which the neighboring countries take offense to. The war ministers see an opportunity for spoils and it sets off a massive war. If you have some time for me Then I will sing a song for you About ninety-nine balloons On their way to the horizon Do you think of me now? Then I will sing a song for you About ninety-nine balloons And that such a thing comes from such a thing [Verse 2] Ninety-nine balloons On their way to the horizon Were taken for UFOs from space Hence, a general sent A squadron after them To give the alarm But there on the horizon Were just ninety-nine balloons [Verse 3] Ninety-nine jet fighters Each was a great warrior Regarded themselves as Captain Kirk There was a great display of fireworks The neighbors didn't understand And soon felt offended Then they shot at the horizon At ninety-nine balloons [Verse 4] Ninety-nine ministers of war Matches and petrol canisters Regarded themselves as clever people Already on the scent of fat quarry They shouted, "War," and wanted power Man, who would have thought That someday it would come this far Because of ninety-nine balloons [Bridge] Because of ninety-nine balloons Ninety-nine balloons [Verse 5] 99 years of war Left no place for winners War ministers don't exist anymore And not one jet Today I stroll around See the world in ruins I've found a balloon I think about you and let it fly --- https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT So?
