  • Nena - 99 Luftballons
99 Düsenflieger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Es gab ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons

  • The B-52s - Song for a Future Generation
Wanna be the Captain of the Enterprise
Wanna be the King of the Zulus
Let's meet and have a baby now!

Great song (Banditos) by a great band (The Refreshments).

I was going to say this one.

I caught this video in the middle of the night on MTV and was sad because I could not remeber who sang it. I tried repeatedly and finally caught it again and bought the CD.

Starships were meant to fly

My wife (and probably many others) disagrees, but I'm firmly of the opinion that Starships by Nicki Minaj is an uncertified trek banger 🙌

Yeah, I had a lot of free time a while back and I made a ska punk album in my living room!
