Got a thumbs up today...kinda funny
So I was on my way to pick up my son from school in the 135 with the windows down and sunroof open jamming along to some tunes...
Stopped at a light and looked over to find a couple smiling, bobbing their heads and mouthing something while giving me a thumbs up. I then realized I was jamming 99 Red Balloons in German and they were singing along! I smiled back, the song faded out and they said "great music, matches the car!" Couldn't have scripted it better. My first thumbs up since getting my 135. |

Song from the 80s by Nena Hagen...damn I'm old...
She did both an English and a German version and both were hits here. Song is about the threat of war with the soviet union and how we Americans were using Germany as a major staging area and monitoring location for keeping an eye on the Soviet Union. I guess I'll go take my Geritol now... Last edited by SpaceGhost; 02-14-2013 at 11:40 PM.. |

Mostly the same, but the German version's a little more... pessimistic and vivid. More about men being greedy and quick to start wars, while the English version is a little more lighthearted. I remember learning about it in German class and translating lol
