Wrong on a couple of minor counts, Richie-o.  
 
  1) "Nena," not "Neena" (not that I CARE).
 
  2) "Neunundneunzig Luftballoons" is indeed in English.  If you are listening
     to the English version, that is.  Somehow, in translation, the balloons
     turn red, since the English version is "Ninety-Nine Red Balloons."  The
     two versions sound identical on other counts.  "Red" was probably added
     because all hell would break loose without the additional syllable.
 
"Yes-iest?"  I take it "Yes" is a band?  Never heard of 'em.  Something to 
do with the movie "Yes, Giorgio," I suppose.
