Always preferred Der Kommissar. Hated the English cover.
ABBA would like to have a word…
Falco’s, not Flaco’s …
I will always remember the music radio station that did a parody called “eat me I’m a danish”.
But then, I’m strange.
“Eat me I’m a Danish” is a good food pun since in Denmark the pastry is known as what would loosely translate as ‘Vienna bread’ – where Falco was from and is still memorialized in a nightclub bearing his name near the Opera House.
Here’s FLA recent (well, semi-recent, I guess) cover with Jimmy Urine…
Falco rules, tho…
Als ist klare, herr Kommissar!
I have fond memories of FALCO! being used in NTK’s weekly newsletter to announce the demise of yet another ill-thought-through internet startup in the early 2000s…
Kenny Hollywood, unless there was another version of it which wouldn’t surprise me all that much.
Flaco is what he called himself when he was releasing open source lossless music files
“…is in town, Uh-oh!”
That was great! I love Falco and FLA, but did not know they had done this! While I like the Max Headroominess of the video, I will still take the over the top original everytime
Never realised this was in German, some how i only now the chorus. Did they do a localised version for the UK and usa, or was it only the German version?
No, Flaco was what he called himself when he was qaurterbacking the Baltimore Ravens.
No, it isn’t.
