99 Red Balloons.

That's just wrong. Just as bad as the Buick Regal ad I saw recently playing Aerosmith's Dream On.

But I gotta know: did they use the poor English version, or the way-neato German?

That's so... so... so ineffably wrong. And yet, darkly funny, as if the person who suggested the song really hated V-Day deep down inside.
