Golden Retriever

Animals could talk?! Wow… it is going to confusing to me. But it might be interesting. First of all, I’ll go to pet shop and then I will buy one my favorite kinds pet that could be yellow color cat or Golden Retriever. And the pet could be own my English conversation partner!!! What a nice! During I stay with my pet, I can practice my English skill because my pet has lived only in U.S so they could talk only English. But, it is careful if my pet’s x-owner was Korean they talk only Korean. Hahaha.

However if I image that every animals talk to me, it might be stress. Think about this situation. When we go to market with them, they also assert their rights what they want to buy thing, food, clothes and so on. If they can’t talk, I don’t have to think their opinion but, they could talk to me I couldn't’t ignore their opinion. They might be like a baby to me. Oh…. My!! Although if they can talk, they are going to bother me nevertheless I want to they can be taking to me. I want to know why they bark sometimes without reasons and why they take a shit everywhere. I’ll make a understanding with them.

99 RED BALLOONS

-Goldfinger-

Genre: Punk Rock

I’m going to introduce a song “99 red balloons”. I think, this one might be familiar with you. First time when I heard this music was on an advertisement’s background music in my country. Beating rhythm impressed to me.

Originally, this song is from German but it also has an English version too. Nena is this song’s singer. Nena, the lead singer of the eponymous German rock group, got world fame in 1984 with the new German wave song “99 Luftballons”. 99 Luftballons became a number one hit in Germany 1983, and went to major international chart success the following year, an English version hitting number one in the UK and the original German version hitting number two in the US. It was also a huge hit in many other countries, and to this day it is still one of the most well-known German rock songs in many parts of the world.

And in 2004, Goldfinger, is an American punk band, re-record Nena’s hit song “99 Luftballons”. When they re-record, they put German language words in middle of this song just like Nena’s lyrics. These fortise sound give us more interested. I personally like Goldfinger better.
This song has negative view point of war between U.S.A and Soviet Union during the Cold War. In this song’s lyrics, 99 red balloons is the symbol of myriad nuclear missiles or weapons. And “buy a bag of balloons with the money we’ve got” mean that 99 each countries leaders decision a policy of the war.

Looking the most recently the war of Russia and Georgia, I think this song again. I am really against any of war and I hope the war is not going to be happened.
