I loved that song growing up, and now I finally saw the video clip. I had no idea the song was anti-american...

apparently she sings about baloons being shot down by the evil americans :)

supposedly at the time lots of germans were anti-american because of (cold war?) concerns so that song reflected that sentiment. Anti-military in western Germany meant anti-war since US was THE military force there :)
