I'm listening to Guster's Amsterdam, and I came across this verse:

From your red balloon you were
a super high tech jet fighter
Floating over planet earth
Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts
Take this bitter pill
Is it easy to swallow?

Hah! A 99 LuftbalLon reference!

Such things make me smile.

For those that are not familar with the Nena tune, there is this verse from Nena's song:
99 Knights of the air
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero.
Everyone's a Captain Kirk.
With orders to identify.
To clarify and classify.
Scramble in the summer sky.
As 99 red balloons go by.

Back to my regularly scheduled programming.
