Wasn't expecting the original German. Extra points. Great job guys.
Same here, I love both versions of the original, & this one stands equal to them.
@@silvertarot25 Agreed, I like both. But prefer the German version and this was spectacular.
Aly Ryan is German anyways, she participated in Germany's national selection for Eurovision in 2019 with her song "Wear Your Love"
In english it is a beautiful song, in german it is epic.
I agree. PMJ never does anything by half-measures. If you haven't seen it, check out Pinky and the Brain.
Very excited for you to hear our first German language cover! Our new Europe tour dates are at www.pmjtour.com
Don't you mean your last? This singer is terrible. Makes Cinead O'Connor sound like an opera singer in comparison.
please do a cover of der kommissar,,that would be fantastic.
Uhm, her German is quite good.
at least its better than nena herself... ok, but thats not very difficult.
das wurde aber auch zeit 😀
This is my new favourite leg.
SONG. I meant song, don't know why I said leg.
LEG
Honesty
There was a song?
Well, there's lotsa great leg here. Mucho curves, we love this. And her voice is great too.
But man, legs to die for. Well, not really die of course. Would be a waste of yer time with this half-angel.
Lovely.
Legs,
hmmm mmmm
nothing wrong being honest
everything is nice
we all like it
Is everyone just going to ignore how incredibly impressively the xyolophonist is playing with four sticks at once?
that’s how many vibraphones are played like mexican xylophones/vibraphones or jazz vibraphones
That's very common my guy.
There's a xylophone?
Oh yes there is... not really what I was focusing on.
I didn't even notice the ballons...
xylophonist? where?
As a German Canadian I'm so glad you've chosen to have somebody fluent in German sing this
Forgive me but, there's such a thing as German Canadian? I know about French Canadians - Quebec and all that - but had no idea there was a German outpost out there.
@@duncangreen6914 french canadian doesnt excusively mean french speakers born in quebec
CLOSE YOUR MOUTH DEZ ....
@@duncangreen6914 After WWII, a large number of Germans emigrated to Canada, especially in Ontario.
@@bigredracingdog466 Thanks for that, I didn't know that. You live and learn.
I was so preoccupied by how stunning her outfit is, I didn’t notice she was singing an a language I do not speak for an embarrassingly long time
Women sing in their underwear to distract from the fact that they can't sing very well.
She was singning ? I totally missed that!
@Kate
She was off key for half the song.
@@foxtrotbravo1744 what's wrong with your ears lol
@@DerAltruist He just don't know what Jazz is.
Kind of disappointed that there’s only 55 luftballons.
There were balloons? Didn't notice.
Lmao
that comment alone probably has everyone counting the balloons now lol
There aren't any luftballons....
Luft is air, those are filled with helium.
@@deth3021 I Disagree. They are hanging upside down.
For those of us, teens from the 80s, we recall when this video and song came out. Brilliant and so uplifting, now this is just an incredible cover by very talented and very amazing Postmodern Jukebox. Great take on this song and love this arrangement. Wow, amazing.
Uplifting? It's a cute little ditty about the nuclear apocalypse!
As a German speaker I thought the accent would be terrible, but she's actually German, lol 😂
Ging mir auch so XD
How do you know that she's German and not just this good?
In my case, people can tell that I'm not a native English speaker as I keep switching between AE and BE and can't fake a regional accent. In her case, I wouldn't be able to tell the state either.
Yeah. At first I didn't even notice she was German and thought wowher German sounds good, but then I heard the English part abd then it became kinda obvious that she was actually German, lol.
She sounds like she's from Berlin :-)
edi german is differant than english. It‘s way easier for a german speaker to speak english like a brit/american than the other way around. I, in my entire live have never met a english/american person to speak german with no accent, unless they have german roots or speak it since child. You always here the accent in other cases. My father is english, and he‘ll always have his accent, but theres nothing wrong with that
Oh i love that you guys went for the original German version instead of the English version, the original is so much better than the English version.
You guys made magic yet again... i just cant get over it, how high the quality of your works are, fromt eh days of Robyn, Haley and Morgan all the way to this lovely lady Aly Ryan, you always deliver top notch music... ty so very much for all you do :)
Great cover again :D
She sings part of the English version though.
@@FrenkTheJoy yeah a few, but the majority in German, gives it that more authentic feel :)
The German version was far and away the most popular back in 1983, both in the US and worldwide. I'd have been disappointed if they hadn't used it.
@@BryceKatz couldnt agree more with you hehe :D
j0hnn13K thanks so much! It was so cool to film in German
People: *German is the most scariest accent*
.
Hot German Girl: *Hold my luftballons*
Facts Justice Truth
: there is nothing to be afraid...
Aly Ryan: 1:18 Ein grosser KRIEGER!!!1 2:52 Neunundneunzig Jahre KRIEG!!!1 Platz für SIEGER!!!1
Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of... Especially for a Russian person who does not speak German, only understands individual words, but does not understand the meaning of the text as a whole.
And lives in Kaliningrad (former Konigsberg)...
What's going on?
Again?)))
UPD a joke. Irony )))
@@paulpaulson7551 I don't think you should judge the language by the lyrics in a song. I mean, otherwise the americans wouldn't be speaking a language at all.
@@paulpaulson7551 Well, actually i think Nena was more talking about Russians and Americans at that time.
99 harmless balloons got spotted on the horizon and every general got trigger happy over it.
99 years of war left no room for victors. So if you see a balloon just think of peace and let it fly.
Unless spoken by three little pigs in the movie Shrek.
:-)))))))))))))))))))))
Proud of the microphone pole for making it through the song
Lmfao
Man now y'all need to do a SAFETY DANCE cover/rendition... absolutely awesome.
Yeah, just in general I'd love to see them tackle more New Wave songs.
+100
Yessss
new wave PMJ yes
add OMD & the smiths too
Okay not only is she an incredible singer but, that outfit is killing it. I love everything going on.
Congratulations. You have created another version of the song that we can’t get out of our heads.
I'm learning german, so every time i listen to this song I catch more and more of the words and can't wait to understand the entire song :D
When you understand the entire song that will be fun because this songs tells a story
Is a good and social critical song. If you have questions, ask me. I speak german fluently😉
@@musicbox2424 When I got to know about this incidence:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident
I immediately thought that this must be the real counterpart to the story told in the song.
Give the song "der Anfang das Ende" by Nena a listen. It's a slow tempo, and clearly enunciated, you'll be able to pick out the words for study easily. 👍
My German teacher had us listen to and sing German music (including this song!) so we could practice. If you need something easier, Disney music in German is great.
Only 56 balloons in the background, missed opportunity...
Obviously just kidding great arrangement as always!
I was about to count them and then read your comment, saving me the trouble. Agree on the missed opportunity!
Rest assured the others were out of frame.
lol. I just counted them too.
There was a background? My eyes never saw one. She’s beautiful!
So, take 43 and put them in your room, then you got it.
WOW what a great song she's wearing.
Ikr she’s wearing such a beautiful song, I wish I had a song like that
@@ilbchn I’m confused
@@maiahisula4585 read the comment again
@@ilbchn still confused. Is the clothing called song? Or the clothing design that specifically shows the leg has “disoriented” him into typing song?
@@maiahisula4585 we've got a winner
It's amazing just how upbeat and stimulating a song can be about two people accidentally triggering World War III.
It's surreal
I see it as putting a positive, optimistic spin on a heavy subject. A light from the darkness, perhaps. :)
That's why I live in South Africa. You lot in Europe are going to wipe each other out under the spell of america. Here we are too far away from all that destruction. We have Germans here but they aren't trigger happy.
No sure what you are on about? It's actually an anti-war song.
@@Rustie_za You are almost certainly correct sir. However I stand by my original statement: The narrative is about two people who start WWIII by releasing 99 balloons (of indeterminate colour), and I, personally, find this song upbeat. I think that that only serves to highlight the anti-war theme. Thank you for your comment though.
Very professional of the gentlemen there keeping their eyes averted
Me 223 seconds ago: German isn't exactly the prettiest language...
Me now: Well, maybe it depends on who's speaking.
Fun fact: Shakespeare was envious of the german language because he regarded it as the clearest and most direct one. He wanted to write in it as well.
it only sounds that bad in american movies, because they use actors who dont know the actual language. usually they completely butcher the pronounciation and even if that is done right, they all seem to have the urge to add that mean aggressive undertone that makes it sound like they are trying to rally the nazi mob against the jews.
sur-taka You can’t be thinking about Brad Pitt by any chance?
@@Mrtweet81 i dont think i have heard him speak german, which movie are you thinking about? i can imagine he might speak german in inglorious basterds, but i only watched the synchronized version in german cinema.
no, i am thinking of 90% of so called "germans" in american movies, who will have the thickes accent in english you have ever heard, but are not able to utter a three word sentence in german correctly.
@@nasekiller Actually the German on display in the original sound for Inglorious Bastards is pretty impeccable. The OV is also significantly better in that it has sections of French and Italian, both basically written to allow Christoph Waltz to show off. It's glorious.
Dress maker: OMG I ran out of material.
Aly Ryan: Looks fine.
I am so confused. Is that like a trouser leg or half of a skirt? When it crosses to the left side off the microphone stand does it just become her leg???
Who needs a whole skirt when you’ve got gloves?
On her it does.
😂😂😂WTF...FR!👀
I actually find it a bit sad that she apparently needs to be dressed like a soft porn actress in order to create interest in the song. Whoever made this decision, maybe even her. She doesn't look like a woman comfortable with her own body and choosing to display it to me - she looks like a doll.
3:44 minutes damn well invested.
That blonde is a riot with the voice a siren...
Holy smoke show!!!!
I have never seen anyone -ever- saying "Luftballons" in a sexier way. Wow.
Love that it is in the original German.
I was in the U.S. Air Force and in Jever Germany when I first heard this song
always found it laughable, clever, and fun all at once.
Martha Marin did the best version of this song.
This Jazz version is really nicely done also
and who doesn't like that leg?
Seriously, did you think I'd type all that and not mention the leg?
Everything about this is literally perfect.
Get her back when you cover "Major Tom (Völlig Schwerelos)".
Das ist ein Befehl!
Nicht in diesem Ton junger Mann!!!elf!1!!
Genau! Frauen reagieren nicht auf Befehle. Da muss man liebevoll mit einem Tee drüber plauschen...
I hope they'll make a cover of Major Tom.. they made an incredibly beautiful cover of David Bowie's Life on Mars
i really am for a cover of Major Tom
Get Jonas Nay from Deutschland 83 to play as well, he's actually a Jazz Student IRL
I fell comforted by this version with this version. HOW GORGEOUS she sings and she’s rocking that outfit. I love this.
I have never studied a microphone stand this hard in my life
😉
Got em
If your microphone stand studying lasts more than 4 hours, consult your physician.
@@thomassherrill3628 nah, He's not getting a go!
It was worthy of attention as it's as perfectly vertical as a plumb line...even with her knee rubbing up against it.
Her voice❤ her dress❤❤❤🔥
Well I guess I am right if I say:
Diese Kommentarsektion ist nun Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
Und eine verlorenen Holländerin 😁😘
I cannot believe I understood that cause I play too many WWII based games...
@@kirstenbakker839 Also doch eher Heiliges Römisches Reich vor 1648. ;)
@@kirstenbakker839 ... und einen Italo-Holländer.
HAHAHA
Was für ein schönes Lied! Ich liebte jede Minute. Herzlichen Dank!
(Sorry if my German isn’t the best. It’s been a long time since German class.)
Klingt perfekt! :)
Dont worry. Its perfect. :)
Perfekt! :)
Dein Deutsch ist super!!!
It was very good :)
Scott, the leader, has such high standards in everything he does.
I like this cover even more than the original. Thank you!
how a song about nuclear annihilation becomes a song of seduction
Eros meets Thanatos
... is the title of deutschland’s autobiography
@@pileofsacks ...and the most underrated comment of 2020 goes to... ...
Yes, Luftballons are excellent
It always was....
They knocked it out of the park again. What a great rendition. Aly is amazing as is the rest of the PMJ crew.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FANTASTIC!
Hard to believe that this is actually about nuclear mayhem.
wrong
@@Rustie_za The relevance of your contribution surpasses the brilliance of your argument. Or was it the other way around?
@@vindicator05 incorrect
@@Rustie_za are you dwight? XD
Y'all there is no accent because the singer is actually German 😂
this makes me feel like I`m watching this in some kind of luftwaffe SS party
@@kirdot2011 lol yeah I get what you mean
@@kirdot2011 wtf ?
@@strangelykingless4980 they even use instruments from that time!
@@kirdot2011 well, otherwise they wouldn't get the right sound I guess
AMAZING, the connection between the four musicians is great and the lady OMG sings and looks wonderful
Jacob Mengarri Mendiola There musicians in the video?
Is there singing in this video?
Her English in that one verse is so good, if it wasn't for all these other comments I would've thought she was American
Aly: "Would someone please help me unhook my thigh chain?"
Worldwide earthquake as 1.6m people simultaneously faint and crash to the ground.
OMG YES. I've always dreamed of a PMJ cover of this
Seems appropriate for a song about death and nuclear destruction.
Best comment so far
And also about hope! 😜🎈
It was released when I was in high school, we were in the middle of the cold war and ready to shoot anything unidentified out of the sky.
PhoenixFiremouse You were doing anti aircraft duty in high school?
@@Mrtweet81 Me personally? Nah. We as a country? Yep.
German never sounded better. She should cover the German version of Bowie's "Heroes".
Great song and a great cover, very cool the transition from German to English. I'm a huge Nena fan and now a Aly fan
German is such a beautiful language. A lovely performance, Aly.
Ich.
For those interested in the original German lyrics, here is a direct translation:
If you have some time for me
Then I will sing a song for you
About ninety-nine balloons
On their way to the horizon
Do you think of me now?
Then I will sing a song for you
About ninety-nine balloons
And that such a thing comes from such a thing
Ninety-nine balloons
On their way to the horizon
Were taken for UFOs from space
Hence, a general sent
A squadron after them
To give the alarm
But there on the horizon
Were just ninety-nine balloons
Ninety-nine jet fighters
Each was a great warrior
Regarded themselves as Captain Kirk
There was a great display of fireworks
The neighbors didn't understand
And soon felt offended
Then they shot at the horizon
At ninety-nine balloons
Ninety-nine ministers of war
Matches and petrol canisters
Regarded themselves as clever people
Already on the scent of fat quarry
They shouted, "War," and wanted power
Man, who would have thought
That someday it would come this far
Because of ninety-nine balloons
Because of ninety-nine balloons
Ninety-nine balloons
99 years of war
Left no place for winners
War ministers don't exist anymore
And not one jet
Today I stroll around
See the world in ruins
I've found a balloon
I think about you and let it fly

So awesome! Thanks!!! 🎈
Thanks so much, because it's not that easy to switch to another page with lyrics from a mobile phone
Thank you! I’ve always loved the SOUND of the song; now, I can appreciate the lyrics.
Thank you. Im learning German and this helped.
@@derinaries As a german: I apologize for Der die Das on behalf of my language xD
Bet my bottom dollar this song will be played at casual Christmas parties in Germany for ever more. Especially corporate Christmas events where the company misses the point of the original song entirely.
Woa, what a dress and compliments for staying cool!
Well when you have a native German singer I guess you either do this or Du Hast lol
If they can transform a whole Rammstein Album i would never ever listen to anything else again.
I'd be interested in them covering other German-speaking artists, like Die Toten Hozen, Christina Stuermer, or Yvonne Catterfeld.
We want that Du Hast!
I'd watch her sing me anything
or Völlig Losgelöst (Major Tom)
Omg she looks like an angel flying on the sky. With red balloons.. I'm in love💗
Damn she's gorgeous o_O this channel has the most beautiful singers of all!
What a relaxing arrangement..and the set looks great!
I feel shorted by about 45 balloons in this video. Loved the cover!
Have you priced helium lately? LOL
you aint the only one counting them here
You forgot to count the 2 most important balloons
@@nhankhuu5643 LOL
Absolutely GORGEOUS!! THE MUSICIANS THE VOCALS THE SINGER! WHAT A LOVELY THING TO SEE! TY!
Wow! Absolutely perfect: Aly and the band!
My life is more complete since finding PMJ...
Wow! 🤩
99 Luftballons is one of my favorite 80's songs.
This cover is really amazing.
Fantastic voice, Aly! 😊👍
Simply stunning arrangement and she's such an enchanting woman with a truly beautiful voice!😍😘
Finally a chance to feel how this great band sounds with my mother’s tounge.
Also nice to find a way liking this song ☺️
I clicked on this fearing an English rendition of this. Instead this gorgeous blonde in an outrageously sexy “gown” delivers a fabulous performance in German. 😁 👏
bathing suit? pants? gown? I'm so confused
Recovering Soul - stop thinking and just enjoy the show!
The gown is channelling Marlene Dietrich for sure! Xx
Thumbs up for it, whatever you call that outfit.
WileyCoyote69 - amen brother!
Ms. Ryan reminds me of the character *Mirage* from _The Incredibles._
This is the sexiest video I've seen on youtube. The band played extremely well, she was stunning, and could sing (in 2 languages no less.) This is what I'll watch while drinking an old fashioned at the end of the day to relax.
Wouldn't mind sitting front row to better admire the singing talent of Aly Ryan, and of course the gifted performance of the other band members 😉😎
Greetings from Germany🍻😉
I love Postmodern Jukebox and I never expected to hear a German song!
Thank you very much!👍
It sounds fantastic!
And Aly Ryan is really hot!😍
No coincidence ya'll release this on Brexit day haha with 3 hours to go.
I'm a fan of Nena and love this version. 😀
This is a brilliant interpretation of a song with a heavy topic. Sounds joyous and hopeful, like a Christmas song.
The location, the outfits, the voice, the entire band, and a standing GODDESS singing. Everything is top-notch CZcams quality content, there's to much to praise here... So am I an asshole for not being able to take my eyes off the guy playing marimba? ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
I thought I was hearing things when she started singing in German. This is pretty rad :)
This is the most enchanting cover I have ever heard.
This is the best German lesson i've ever had 😍😛
I'm counting 55. We're short 44!! That helium shortage is now affecting PMJ.
j/k Great job as always!
Robert Roberts 😂😂 It’s good to see that they didn’t use Helium though
Just internet click bait then.
That dress, and you're counting balloons. Take some multivitamins, dude.
Balloons? Now that you mention it, yeah, there are...Wait, you're counting...
@@falcychead8198 My wife was watching what I was l looking at. I had to look innocent.
Brought tears to my eyes and for three minutes straight I had goosebumps and shivers. Best cover yet, you guys
i had the same response.
i think you may be sick, that sounds a bit too extreme :D
Einfach Toll 🥰
Just noticed... This was released on my birthday.....best present ever...Ive become addicted to PMJ thru the lockdown. Thank you for such awesome performances!
I've been waiting for this song a really long time, and finally the masterpiece has appeared
Eine gelungene Umsetzung. :)
I’ve seen this a dozen times, but it’s my little secret pleasure to watch.
Those 10 or so seconds from 1:50 to around 2:00 were worth the listen, and the entire video was worth the watch!
I‘m happy that this is the actual version of it... As a German I really don’t like the English version.
As a non German I don't like the English Version either.
The german version is more popular over here as well
As an English speaker I don't like the English version either.
No kidding. I'm Brazilian, and don't like the english one too.
Yea the English always sounds off to me. I'm Dutch so don't like to admit it, but the German version is way better ;)
This knocked my socks off! Awesome performance
Dankeschön, großartig.
I'm in LOVE with everything about Her. Damn. Just damn.
The balloons and lights look so pretty. Love the stage design in this one
She did a great job giving off a femme fatale vibe, a enchanting voice and very eye catching. Great cover as always pmj I always enjoy your work.
Great, on everything. I love the interpretation to light jazz. Voice and sound are great. Piano is an upgrade. Impressive.
I love this song! I like the red balloons you guys put around the set. Again, great song!
Hope everybody here has a good day :)
What to expect from PMJ?!
*Always high quality sound*
I enjoyed this, but my 2yo is very concerned that one of the singer's legs'll get cold.
personbear that's a very valid concern
I'd bet the band will fall over to keep her warm
I'm sure the room is quite warm. Remember, PMJ Manor is in California!
@@BryceKatz I'll let her know when she's up from her nap!
She did it. It's official. German *can* sound sexy 🤣
Lmao
The whole thing is just beautiful.
Extrem gute Cover, passt vom Stil her extrem gut - von PMJ erwarte ich eh nur Qualität, aber bei einem deutschsprachigen Lied auch? Respekt! Und keinerlei Akzent!
Liegt glaube ich daran, das Aly Rayn eine deutsche Popsängerin ist 😉
@@borisrothe2228 Ist wirklich so 😂
ja, bin auch sehr überrascht. Seit Ewigkeiten folgen ich PMJ und war nie enttäuscht. Auch heute nicht. Toll.

Yes. Please visit some Russian cities (again?). I know Aubrey Logan had been to my city.
Listening to this on repeat. Amazing.
Das beste Cover aller Zeiten!
The best Cover of all times!
Love it! Great arrangement!
