"Kids of the Century" is a song and single by German power metal band Helloween taken from the album Pink Bubbles Go Ape. This is the first Helloween single with Roland Grapow playing guitars, replacing Kai Hansen.
They made a promo video at the Rainbow Theatre in London,[1] directed by Storm Thorgerson, who also made the front cover of the album and the single.
It is also the first Helloween recording with a song written by bassist Markus Grosskopf: "Shit and Lobster".[2] The Japanese version of the single contains an exclusive Helloween interview (6:02) instead of "Shit and Lobster".
