9) **99 Luftballons in its historical context**

[|**http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NxPO1Ni34g&feature=watch_response**]
 * What is the meaning of this song "99 Luftballons" in a historical context? (see above)**
 * //-While at a// [|//Rolling Stones//] //concert in Berlin, Nena's guitarist// [|//Carlo Karges//] //noticed that balloons were being released. As he watched them move toward the horizon, he noticed them shifting and changing shapes, where they looked nothing like a mass of balloons but some strange// [|//spacecraft//] //(referred to in the German lyrics as a "//[|//UFO//]//"). He thought about what might happen if they floated over the// [|//Berlin Wall//] //to the// [|//Soviet sector//]//.[|[3]]// //Both the English and German versions of the song tell a story of 99 balloons floating into the air, triggering an// [|//apocalyptic overreaction//] //by military forces. The music was composed by// [|//Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen//]//, the keyboardist of Nena's band, while Karges wrote the original German lyrics.// //The song came during a period of escalating rhetoric and strategic maneuvering between the United States and the// [|//Soviet Union//] //in the// [|//Cold War//]//. In particular, its international chart success followed the United States deployment of// [|//Pershing II//] //missiles in West Germany in January 1984 (in response to the Soviet deployment of new// [|//SS-20//] [|//nuclear missiles//]//), which prompted protests across// [|//western Europe//]//. The following month, Nena// [|//topped the UK Singles Chart//] //with "99 Red Balloons" for three weeks, starting in 28 February 1984. Unusually, in the United States the German version was more successful, charting at #2 on the// [|//Billboard//] [|//Hot 100//]//. On 26 March 1984, it was certified Gold by the// [|//Recording Industry Association of America//]//, for shipment of over 500,000 copies. "99 Luftballons" became the first German-language record to reach the top ten on the US charts since "Sailor (Your Home Is the Sea)" by// [|//Lolita//] //in 1961. Although the German version was the hit version in America, both the German and English versions receive radio airplay in the United States today. (taken from Wikipedia)//**
