Forums - General Discussion - What Do You Think Of This Song By Falco "Rock Me Amadeus"

 

Johann (Hans) Hölzel (19 February 19576 February 1998), better known by his stage name Falco, was an Austrian rap, pop and rock musician and had four #1 Hits - "Der Kommissar," "Rock Me Amadeus," "Jeanny," and "Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2)." He is the first and so far only artist to score a #1 Hit in the U.S. with a German language song.His albums and singles have sold about 60 million copies worldwide.

Falco died of severe injuries received from a collision with a bus in his Mitsubishi Pajero near the city of Puerto Plata, in the Dominican Republic on 6 February 1998, just two weeks before his 41st birthday. While it was initially reported that the autopsy showed high blood levels of alcohol and cocaine, this was disputed. At the time of his death, he was working on a comeback into the music world.He was buried in the Zentralfriedhof (Central Cemetery) in Vienna, Austria.

They made fun of it on Family Guy.



I think that song is the bomb, almost as good as "Der Kommisar." It's a shame he died so young. I love Falco.


Also:




its one of the greatest songs ever! the movie was really depressing. Did Falco make any other music? I've heard that song and Der Komissar but that's it.
