Music Video[]
The music video was directed by Bert van der Veer. It features the band playing on what appears to be the barren remains of Germany. Nena herself is not shown with them, but wandering alone through smoke and mounds of earth. Every so often balloons can be seen tied to the ground amongst barbed wire and planks of wood. In the re-shown video there are clips of Nena and her band playing live to an audience at night. VH1 placed the video at #16 on 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.
