VH1 Classic, as part of a fund-raiser for Katrina Relief, offered to show a music video of choice for each $25 donation. Someone bought an entire hour’s worth of music<\/a>, and chose … well …<\/p>\n

But one viewer has chosen to do something different for his allotted hour that he purchased through the music-thon. He has requested the music video for the 1984 hit “99 Luftballons” by German group Nena. Both the English and German versions will play continuously throughout the hour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A fun song (esp. in German, where the kind goofy lyrics aren’t discernable), but … not the one “music videos from the 60s,
\n70s, 80s and early 90s” I would have chosen. Though I’m not sure what would be, if I were to decide to choose only one.<\/p>\n

The winner will get his music Sunday the 26th from 2-3 p.m. EST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
