      Was 99 Red Balloons the first chart song ever to mention "Software" in the lyrics?

    Thanks for pointing out that "software" is in the english lyrics of Nena's song - no mentioning of software in the original German version (but Captain Kirk is mentioned instead).

    You could be right that this is the first chart song that mentions software - at least I can't come up with another one. However. there must be a lot of songs in the 70s about software - for sure Kraftwerk used it in their songs. And what about Devo? At least they used "you must technology or technology uses you" as an advert, didn't they?
