Everytime that song comes on that funky ass beat starts off and IT IS GROOVY..then UGH!! They just stop and go in2 that lame rock pop shit and it gets on my damn nerves. Does any1 agree with me? Someone shudda stole that and made a song out of it!

Cryin shame they didnt make that funk last.

NEVER diss Nena!

Not even when she is making lame ass music with Kim Wilde...

You hear me?

But I will put it on right now to see what you talking about.

Hast du etwas Zeit fuer mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont...

But I like 80's pop stuff. Don't make me play Mel & Kim for you... Nena was BIG in Holland with this song.

I agree with what you saying b/c in the beginnning it starts out funky then turns into a damn typical pop song. Now as a true funkateer I feel where you are comming from brotha.

DONT U PLAY NO MEL N KIM IN HERE BOY!!!!

Thank you Hotlegs

I just heard that song on the radio tonight and I love the whole thing in all its 80's glory.

99 Red Balloons was THE freaking jam back in the 1980's. And even now, it was the one song that no one sample yet.

Neva was a good new wave/funk/rock band for that moment!

I think the dynamic change between the rock and funk-ish tempo is what made it a hit.

I think it's fun to bug out to!

Just reminded me that song was featured on DJ Yoda's How To Cut & Paste, 80's Edition.

if only i had the patience to separate my music stash into chronological order. i just have my stuff in alphabetical order by artist.

I don't have the patience to even transfer data
