German band ‘Nena’ released “99 Luftballons” on their 1983 self-titled album. Following unprecedented success across Europe, an English version (“99 Red Balloons”) was released the following year. Since the English version wasn’t a direct translation of the original … the band didn’t approve, claiming, “… we made a mistake there. I think the song loses something in translation and even sounds silly.” As such, even though the band has performed more than 500 concerts over the past 30+ years, Nena has never sung the English version, live! What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s role? Absolutely nothing!
