As it turned out, "99 Red Balloons," as it was now called, was, of all things, an anti-nuclear protest song. In the lyrics, a boy and girl innocently release a batch of balloons into the air; confused by these flying objects, international governments panic, triggering a nuclear holocaust.
That point has already been made on this thread about twenty times.

On the other hand...its true that many songs are not about they seem to be about. Like the song in question seems to be a happy party tune but is about nuclear armegeddon.
"Who Let the Dogs Out?" believe it or not...is a feminist anthem. Its about how at parties certain men will come out of the woodwork and aggressively hit on the ladies and be "dogs" hence the question "who let the dogs out?". Male singers deploring the behavior of other men.
