I know I’m fixating, but “shooting down party balloons and using it as a pretext for war” is literally the “99 Luftballons” story arc. 🎈🤯 (Even “Miami 2017” didn’t map this closely.)
![Wikipedia entry describing the story arc of “99 Luftballons”:
The lyrics of the original German version tell a story:
99 balloons are mistaken for UFOs, causing a military general to send pilots to investigate. Finding nothing but balloons, the pilots put on a large show of firepower. The display of force worries the nations along the borders and the defence ministers on each side encourage conflict to grab power for themselves.
In the end, a cataclysmic war results from the otherwise harmless flight of balloons and causes devastation on all sides without a victor, as indicated in the denouement of the song: "99 Jahre Krieg ließen keinen Platz für Sieger," which means "99 years of war left no room for victors." The anti-war song finishes with the singer walking through the devastated ruins of the world and finding a single balloon. The description of what happens in the final line of the piece is the same in German and English:
'''Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen," or "Think of you and let it go."[11]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4dp4culto5csbqs5m6ge22fw/bafkreie4ga5vudhvz4e25t5oducxifde6sf2zgal7wugci2bv5ee2qfcoe@jpeg)

At a current time in which merely speaking Spanish in public in the US can literally get you arrested deported or killed, the site of such a joyous celebration of Spanish-speaking culture as fun, inclusive and fundamentally AMERICAN was in its own way deeply and rightly political.
