If you have nothing better to do Sunday afternoon (we should warn your taxes, laundry, and attending to foot callouses might all qualify as "better"), VH1 Classics will be airing one of Germany's greatest contributions to the one-hit-wonder pop pantheon, Nena's "99 Luftballons," for an entire hour. It was a special request made by a generous bidder during their "Pay To Play for Hurricane Katrina Relief" fundraising campaign:

The VH1 Classic campaign centered around a music video-thon, where viewers could request one video to be played on VH1 Classic for every $25 donation made to Mercy Corps through VH1 Classic's web site.

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.

The channel insists this is a one-off stunt event for charity, though they may be pleasantly surprised by the uptick in ratings that results from legions of 30-something nostalgists looking to relive their Cold War-colored youths through the repeated viewing of the classic, seaside video. How heartening that one man's obsessive desire to have the song's synthesizer line bore a hole through America's skull will end up providing some much needed relief to the nation's less fortunate.
