So why does Major Tom and 99 Red Balloons sound so much better in German than in English? These are the types of questions that keep me awake at night.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I prefer the English version of Major Tom (Coming Home) and the German version of 99 Luftballons, but I think that’s probably because those are the versions I heard first. This is the first I’ve ever heard the German Major Tom, and it just sounded weird to me. The English version of 99 Luftballons has never appealed to me, either.

    I aspire to be able to sing 99 Luftballons in the original German at a karaoke night, someday. My pronunciation is good, but my enunciation is not up to proper speed yet. Working on it!
