The lyrics are better in German.
Ah, driving around Europe in ‘84 and listening to the song.
Most people, unless they knew German, didn’t realize it was an anti-American, anti-Reagan, anti-Nuke song.
Neun und neuzing leuft balluns...
“Most people, unless they knew German, didnt realize it was an anti-American, anti-Reagan, anti-Nuke song.”
Yeah,,, I picked up on that even in English. It wasn’t exactly subliminal.
It was still a cool song.
I just remember it being a bunch of gibberish with “Captain Kirk” somewhere in the middle.
Yeah, the 80s were full of songs like that, but I did like a lot of them just the same, songs like “Red Skies at Night” by The Fixx.
I thought it was an excellent portrayal of Commie paranoia.
