Welcome to Cover Wars, a podcast where we take one song that's been recorded by two (or more) artists, look at the artists, where these recordings came from, and determine which version is best.

One this episode we look at "99 Red Balloons," originally written and recorded as "99 Luftballons" by the German band Nena from their 1983 self-titled debut album and the cover by the Reno, NV hardcore punk band 7 Seconds which appeared on their 1985 record Walk Together, Rock Together.
