Interesting fact about that song is that the original German Lyrics are 99 LuftBalons, which literally translated means "Air Balloons", which really translates to just plain "Balloons" in english... there is no mention of the colour of the balloons in the original German version... that is why, if you watch the video, there are balloons of many different of colours in it...
You are quite correct about the lyrics. I never realised about the translation!

I remember the hairy armpits though
