Whenever there's some political fuckery happening in the world the lyrics of this song pop into my head so here's an acoustic fingerstyle version of 99 Love Balloons (Luftballoons) by Nena!

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
Ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
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

99 Decision Street
Ninety-nine 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 ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine 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
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine dreams I have had
In every one, a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go...

If you want to learn it the chords are D Em G A in a loop.

Mandela effect with Bjork

This part of the post is going to get kind of weird. I remember a cover of this song by Bjork and looked around to find it and can't anywhere! I found an old forum post asking if Bjork did a cover (everyone said no...) and I found some tweets from radio stations saying currently streaming: 99 Red Balloons by Bjork and the Sugarcubes, and also an old blog post saying people have confused Nena and Bjork.

Here's the thing, I am sure I have this track on an old hard drive somewhere, Hive account@vachemorte remembers it too. I have always been a big fan of Bjork so I have a hard time believing that the song was mislabelled and it wasn't her. Does anyone else remember this, did it exist? Has it been memory holed? HELP!
