[citizensm1th]

late 70's maybe early 80's female american maybe canadian punk/alternative solo artist with a song about a world suffering from ecological/ technological disaster.

i don't think it was lena lovich nor was the song in the year 2525 but was along those lines

anyone have any idea?

It’s got to be Nena - 99 red balloons.

That was a classic.

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one they were gone…

If not then there’s a disaster song thread here that might help?

pretty sure she was not british but we are talking nearly 40 years ago i think she was moderately famous at the time 2 or 3 top 40 hits and was definitely not mainstream

And worth a tangential mention of the most awesome punk-rock love song song that is "Will You", if only for that magnificent sax solo.

It's a good un but the greatest punk love song is Baby I Love You.
