Sorry.

I thought I was going somewhere with this, but I got nuthin'...

Nine-ninths Luftballons ...?

It loses something in the translation.

99 Luftballons, strudel schnell ein zwei drei unglaublich zum tueful Captain Kirk ach nein sprach unter sauerkraut

9 out of 9 Luftballoons agree... this topic is even more inane than most in this forum.

Instant translation:

"99 balloons, strudel fast one two three unbelievable to the devil* Captain Kirk oh no spoke under sauerkraut"

(*At least I think "Teufel" is what you mean.)

Danke.

Threadsavers All! Mucho Amore!

Given that this was a Pov topic, I was certain it'd be '69 luft balloons'.

The other 30 were free...

"?"

Nein! Nein! Luftballoons!

Ja, ja.

(Which in German means "yes, yes," but in Spanish means "Ha, Ha.")

I speak a little bit of Dutch (in which Ja also means Yes), and a little bit of Spanish. So that made me laugh

Yay! Thanks, Ibby.

How is there no link to the song here?

Just avoid the (deliberately silly) angry heavy metal remix. (Although I do covet the guy's shirt...)

Thanks, Set.

And, BTW, it appears nobody got this joke:



That was the actual title of a Nena album -- AND its title track!

How different would Escape From Stalag Luft 112B have been, if it had been Escape from Stalag Luftballoon 112B?

Ginger, Chalky, Biffo and the rest of the escape committee need to know!
