I remember when this song was released because we were at the height of the Cold War. I recall thinking that because we and the Soviets were both wound so tight that the unimaginable could happen at any time due to one side misreading the other, either through a human or technical error. Now here we are 38 years later with the militarys of many nations staring at one another on the land, air and sea with the use of nuclear weapons being put on the table once again. We're older and again looking into the abyss. We all should have listened to this song a little closer. 😢

After the so-called Elite emerge from their bunkers there will be nothing left. So everybody loses, therefore there will be no nuclear war ever.

GTFO what are you here for umm buddy. THIS SONG IS AMZING. Go tickle your pickle somewhere else.

House parties, weed, beer, women...and MuchMusic on in the living room. Playing the shit out of this...and ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Men Without Hats, Dire Sraits, a-ha, Van Halen. The list goes on and on. I want to go back.

The '70s was my prime time, but I dated a girl 8 years younger than me in 1983. I would TOTALLY like to go back to those times!! (Hi, Dyanna!!)

The song like a time warp. Hearing it now in 2021 take me back decades I feel like I’m 17 again. The music is fresh everything is beautiful. 99 balloons are still floating by, Except I am no longer the beginning of my life but I’m nearing the end of it.

indeed...only GenX had bands that revealed the fears of the Cold War....and make it sound pop and happy

It was 100 Balloons until a few week ago.....

99th day of the year is April 8th, eclipse day. So this is the best song for that day

I would say that is an uncanny coincidence if that is what I actually thought but nonetheless there was an uncanny planetary alignment going on today. One that is virtually unseen on any typical day and all the more extraordinary when at the same time some devil comet was out there heading our ways. I personally picture a schoolyard bully approaching the little guy (earth) and all the kids on the playground stepping out and facing the bully as if to say; 'want a piece of me?'

This was my favourite song when I was younger.. I didn't know this song was about war

2023s theme song

My High School Girlfriend and I loved this song. During the summer between our Jr and Senior year she died in a car accident. We were going to be married and have children together. It has been 30 years and I have not forgotten her for even a day. Her parents are really old now. I check in on them from time to time. Her Father is still shattered. He cries every time I stop by.

@@milotorres6894 I married a beautiful girl that we were both very good friends with. I have experienced incredible love and good times with my Jenny. We had 6 beautiful children together. All but one is grown up and thriving in the world. Our 14 year old is still at home doing great. She's sassy, but great.

Oh the music of my childhood. My neighbors had MTV and I was over there religiously.

Uh, i've been listening to this song a few days before the war. Now this song is actual af.

Takes you right back to the 80s.

Takes me right back to 1983-84, I was playing drums and singing some with my brother's street fairs band "silver wings ✈️ test flight" and carrying a big crush on NENA, watching this video on MTV.

I always loved her and her leather pants

Just as potent and perfect today as it was in 84, it's like a time warp and suddenly this song fits perfect with the time. As a Gen-Xer this is a scary flash back in real time. I would really like to see this released. I think it would chart all over again.
