    • Nena - 99 Luftballons
    99 Düsenflieger
    Jeder war ein großer Krieger
    Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
    Es gab ein großes Feuerwerk
    Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
    Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
    Dabei schoss man am Horizont
    Auf 99 Luftballons
    

    Captain Kirk is mentioned in both the original German and the English version. The reference is actually moved to a different verse in the English version so that it still works.

    • The B-52s - Song for a Future Generation
    Wanna be the Captain of the Enterprise
    Wanna be the King of the Zulus
    Let's meet and have a baby now!
    

    This one might could also be a reference to any one of the many Navy ships with the name, but I choose to believe someone in the band is one of us.














  • The Animal Crossing fandom is all three at once.

    Some players are super nice and helpful. They do things like giveaways, share when they have high turnip prices, and let others in their town to recruit moving villagers.

    Then you also have people who literally charge entry fees for their island. They’ll use this to sell items and villagers to other players. I’ve even heard of people running scams this way. Even worse is the people who charge real money (this is generally frowned upon in most communities, but pretty lucrative on eBay and Etsy).
