luftballon!

I remember that movie! I think PBS still uses it as a sort of time filler sometimes.

Speaking of red balloons ...


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
As 99 red balloons go by

99 Division Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out 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

99 Knights of the air
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by
99 Luftballons sung by Nena, writ. by J. Uwe Fahrenkrog-Peterson/C. Karges

That was one of my favorite movies as a kid!!!! I love that movie. Mom thougt I wouldn't understand it, but I explained it to her, she never questioned me again on understanding things like that. She let me read the complete works of E.A.Poe in 5th grade because of that. WOW! Thanks for bringing back such a great childhood memory! (kissonforehead) you'r the greatest!!
