"Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" is a 1984 song by Nena which was a commercial success in Europe. Due to the success many cover versions of this song appeared, including samples as well as other languages.
The song is about love.
At the beginning of the music video itself a garage door opens and Nena emerges and runs through spider webs. She goes to a car in another scene, people running and snap it. Nena then goes through a pyramid and sees a mummy awakened by Nena touch to life. When Nena in a later scene sits in the car, soldiers pass through the area and one of them joins her. In cutscenes Nena performs the song with some studio musicians. Later, a guy runs in front of a dragon with the wheels and away to safety after he weighs in front of him, Nena comes to him. After this, Nena is seen as a samurai, when they sneak nearly falls into a hole and is rescued by the guy. Before the end of the clip a few excerpts of the video will be shown again. The scenes in which Nena presents the song are taken from a live concert. The video was shot in the middle of Germany 1984.[1]
