While it would be "funnier" if Nena and their singing started the war, I meant the 99 balloons -- or some other object (on the ground or in the air -- or even a Fail Safe scenario along the Iron Curtain or Chinese border where it's a sensor glitch) that everyone misinterprets.
How about a real-life ET spaceship accidentally starting the war? The ETs might feel obligated to help us recover from the war, or they could be like humans and be trying to cover up the incident so they don't get executed by their superiors.
BTW: The German version of the song is REALLY hard for me to follow -- it strains my incredibly-rusty German, and has a lot of colloquialisms in it and regional accents. Of course, trying to follow Falco's German-language songs are pretty much impossible for me...I can't rock Amadeus because I don't know what Falco's trying to tell me!
