Not everyone knows German.
As if you know every language known to mankind.

you're an idiot, you can't even spell BALLOONS
first of all, why would you waste 5 pts by asking a question you supposedly already know the answer to??
second, the band released the english version of that song as '99 red balloons'
lastly, if you don't like what other people have to say then you shouldn't be on here

Germans are forbidden to call anyone names for about another 50 years. Sorry.

Correct. They added "red" to the English version just to get the right number of syllables.
