Grosse point blank

[Beckham]

In Grosse Point Blank, can you tell me what the song is, which is played when they are at the school reunion and he has just killed that man by the lockers. I think t was a one hit wonder. It also foreign (I think). Is it on the sound track?

However the song that it actually was - Nena's '99 Red Balloons' isn't on either of these albums for some reason.

I believe it was the version in Nena's mother tongue of German. There are the two versions of this song, which if you have also watched "The Wedding Singer", its the one Drew is singing when she has her Sony Walkman on.
