I'm wearin'
Fur pajamas
I ride a
Hot Potata'
It's tickling my fancy
Speak up, I can't hear you

Check out Mr. Businessman
Oh, ho ho

Checkin' in, a checkin' out!

Peace of mind
It's a piece of cake
Thought control
You get on board any time you like
Like sitting on pins and needles
Things fall apart
It's scientific    (
I'm not sure that this is going to be recognizable)

"Panic bells, it's Red Alert.  There's something here from somewhere else. The war machine springs to life,
opens up one eager eye,  Focusing it on the sky"

 

 

 

"99 knights of the air ride super-high-tech jet fighters.      Every one's a super-hero, every one's a Captain Kirk. "With orders to identify, to clarify and classify.  Scramble in the summer sky"

"99 Decision Street. Ninety-nine ministers meet to worry, worry, super-scurry.  call the troops out in a hurry!  This is what we've waited for.   This is it, boys, this is war! The president is on the line"

"You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got.
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone

Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Something's out there!"

This is a clue.   It would definitely tell me a lot, but I'm not sure it will jog your memory. It depends on if you've heard this song before....

"Neunundneunzig Luftballons

Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für UFOs aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
'Ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn's so wär
Dabei waren dort am Horizont
Nur neunundneunzig Luftballons

Neunundneunzig 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 neunundneunzig Luftballons."

Ok, I'll end this round.   This was Nena's "99 Red Balloons."  She was a German singer who wrote "99 Luftballons" in German.  It was such a hit that she wrote an English version of the song.   It was a hit, but not as big as the original song.  (Technically, the English version didn't "chart", but it got a LOT of airplay.)   This was from 1983, so I didn't break my rule for myself of not picking anything after 1985.
