This silly song caught everyone's attention when it dropped.
The translation is odd. Luftballoon is simply balloon in English. I suppose the red was added to gain enough syllables. Nena is both the name of the band and the nickname of the singer, it seems. Anyway, this is, in no way, classic New Wave. It's more of a top 40 song from the 80s. I have a copy probably because it was very cheap or given to me.
Side A of this release has the English version, while side B is the original German version. Which is better? Who knows? Who cares?
