Nena - 99 Luftballons

99 Düsenflieger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Es gab ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons

Captain Kirk is mentioned in both the original German and the English version. The reference is actually moved to a different verse in the English version so that it still works.

The B-52s - Song for a Future Generation

Wanna be the Captain of the Enterprise
Wanna be the King of the Zulus
Let's meet and have a baby now!

This one might could also be a reference to any one of the many Navy ships with the name, but I choose to believe someone in the band is one of us.

We should be so lucky as to associate with those genius weirdos.

I love that B52s song! Love that you mentioned it.
