    Panic bells, it's red alert!
    There's something here from somewhere else!
    The war machine springs to life
    Opens up one eager eye
    Focusing it on the sky
    When ninety-nine red balloons go by

    Nina Nena and Goldfinger did good English versions, but we really need a weird alt-metal cover of this song. I'm thinking System of a Down would be perfect.

    Also, I never realized how different the German and English lyrics are.
