Back to the Eighties: 99 Luftballoons


Original video located here. Accessed 24th October 2022

Song title: 99 LuftBalloons

Artist: Nena

Year: 1983

Why I like this song:

When I think of eighties music, it is defined by synthesizers, simple but effective guitar, prominent bass and pounding drums. I will certainly admit that perception may be cliche but this songs delivers such elements in spades. And it gets even more eighties by throwing in a narrative involving Cold War paranoia.
