Genre: German pop/rock
Places I remember: Real Groovy
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Hard to go past their number one hit: 99 Luftballons
Gear costume: Nur Geträumt, Leuchtturm
Active compensatory factors: I searched for years for this album, containing as it does the German language version of 99 Luftballons. The English version (99 Red Balloons) appeared on Say Cheese, an eighties compilation of one hit wonders. It pales in comparison to the German one.
The rest of the album is more of the same Germanic electronic eighties pop, but nothing is as catchy as 99 Luftballons.
Previous single to 99 Luftballons was Nur Geträumt and it's the next catchiest song here. Third single, Leuchtturm, is also pretty cool - it builds well.
Nena, the person rather than the band, (a nickname for the lead singer - Gabriele Kerner, btw) is still performing (and still looking great incidentally).
Where do they all belong? That's it for Nena, the band - a true one hit wonder!
