Am I the only one with “99 Luftballoons” in my head?
(Well deserved royalties, to compensate her for all the confusion!)

>y'all look the same to me.
>99 red balloons. Nina vs Nena: the continuing saga.
>Nina Hagen= Nina Hagen.
>Gabriele Susanne Kerner= Nena (nickname band name).
>Yes, they are both german women who's music career heights were in the 80's, and their first "names" are very similar, but that does not make them the same person.
>Nina Hagen= "The Mother of Punk".
>Nena= some sweaty chick in a band that had one fluffy hit single, and yes, please know that i'm talking about "99 red balloons". psst...the german version is better.
>Recently-ish photos of Nina Hagen were posted in a decent and somewhat elitist (in a good way) lj makeup community. She's a good example of outrageous makeup, and "known", or so I thought, for her style...as much as for her voice and music, since hers is not like anyone else's. I was terribly terribly terribly dead wrong. With the many-o-many comments that were being made, each stating a similar; "omfg i LOVE Nina Hagen and i loooove her song 99 red balloons!!! it's my most favourite retro song i love the 80's!" There was no correction in sight amongst the gathering list of commenters declaring their love and 'hoping for cool points' knowledge of Nina.
>This is Nina Hagen... [...follow links for outrageous photos...] doesn't even scratch the surface of all the looks, but i'd be here all year posting photos to almost accomplish that. she's deliciously fucked.
>And now pay close attention. This is Nena, the singer of "99 red/luftballoons"... um...yeah... And i even got a photo of them together. not the same person!

>The bigger difference is in their singing voices actually.
>Nena= nice, normal, regular chick singing voice.
>Nina Hagen= is a vocal genius. studied opera and incorporates that in her insane variety of deranged sweetness, down to an extreme that makes all death metal bands sound like a choir of girl scouts with mints thins in their nickers.

The closest she ever came to covering 99 Red Baboons was Auf'm Bahnhof Zoo:

99 Red Baboons
How is a novel weather balloon different from a spy balloon, before you shoot it down?
Is shooting at unmanned aircraft legal in international law? Is sending balloons over other states illegal?
Media in germany as usual did nothing to explain anything about the actual facts of what anything means. They just copy and paste the official DPA news and let people without a clue write comments about that, but no actual expert is ever shown in 8 o'clock news for any crisis that takes less than a week.
