Starting off with an Anti-war song...How nice.
Interesting that I never knew that. You know actually sometime ignorance is bliss. LOL. I always thought the song was this nice little dorky song now I know that everyone was just dupped again.
Somehow Nena survives and in the smoldering radioactive ashes of post apocolyptic Germany, she sees one of her troublemaking red balloons floating by, and laments for all that has been lost (including, apparently, underarm razors.)
At least, that's how I remember it.
