Best way to play ’99 Red Balloons?’ Use red balloons

We’re all familiar with the song “99 Red Balloons,” aka “99 Luftballons.”

It began as a German anti-war song by Nena back in 1983. After it enjoyed worldwide success (and got stuck in everyone’s head), it was translated to English and enjoyed another round of worldwide success (and was again stuck in everyone’s head).

The song has been redone a few too many times, but a YouTuber recently made a version I can actually stand. Why? It actually uses red balloons.

Andrew Huang only uses balloons and editing to breathe new life into the ’80s hit. And yes, it still sticks in your head. You’ve been warned.
