Question

How many Red Balloons would Nena be singing about if they were to sing about a certain number of balloons that were red?
a) 100
b) 323
c) 99
d) 24
e) Nena did not sing about balloons
f) Nena sang about balloons, but they were not red

Answer 1

She sang about 99 balloons of an unknown color. We just think they're red in English. :)

Answer 2

99. it was originally a german song about the cold war but when they wrote the english version it didn't have the same meaning. and the balloons in the german weren't red, they were just balloons. Nena sang both versions so it depends on which version the question is talking about. but the german song went "neunundneunzig luftballons" and the german word for red is 'rot' - no mention of red in there.

so the answer would be f) if you were talking about the german (original) version, or c) if you were talking about the english version.

Answer 3

99

Answer 4

c. 99
