from the outset nena and other members of the band expressed disapproval of the english version of the song, "99 red balloons". in march 1984, the band's keyboardist and song co-writer uwe fahrenkrog petersen said, "we made a mistake there. i think the song loses something in translation and even sounds silly." in another interview that month the band including nena herself were quoted as being "not completely satisfied" with the english version since it was "too blatant" for a group not wishing to be seen as a protest band. despite having given in excess of 500 concerts over a period of more than 30 years, nena has never sung "99 red balloons" live, even at her rare concerts in england, always performing the german version instead.
