As an Austrian, I have to say it's always nice to see English-speaking people reacting to musicians from my home country. Falco's music is an integral part of Austrian culture and it will never be forgotten. He sang many songs in both German and English and was the only Austrian to reach number 1 on the Billboard with a song in German (Rock me Amadeus). Thank you for your great reaction. Greetings from Austria.

Falco was freaking awesome.

Falco is Austrian and sings and partly lived in Germany, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is also Austrian / German, that should also be clear to Americans

The lead singer was Austrian, born in Vienna. AMADEUS who the song refers to was a world famous classical musician Wolfgang AMADEUS Mozart. A lot of the song is sung in German which is the main language in Austria. Falco said that he learned his English through watching films, television and music videos. Falco real name Johann Holzel sadly died in a horrific road accident back in the Nineties.

You two are definitely not the brightest candles in the room! And he's from Austria, not Germany, not France, any definitely not from England.

It was his thing to mix in some English, but most of it is German with an Austrian accent. I think his song "Vienna Calling" has even more English mixed into it. Btw, some people claim, that he was the first European rapper.

I can only think of two German sung songs that were hits in the United States and those two were by Nena: 99 Luftballons (99 Red Balloons) and the other was by Falco: Der Kommissar - and both songs had English sung versions. The only other two artists who had major success from Germany in the U.S.A. back in the 1980s were the Scorpions- who sang in English and the German-French duo of Milli Vanilli, towards the latter part of the 1980s. Other artists with mild success were: Kraftwerk, Alphaville and Boney M.

Falco is a Austrian. His really name is Johann "Hans" Hölzel.

The reason you are hearing a lot of English words is because English is a West Germanic language. Although it is sprinkled with lots of French, Norse, Latin and more, the base language is German. When you see written German it's quite obvious, but the spoken word can be a little harder to recognise. This song was in German with the chorus being the very English expression, "Rock Me" Amadeus. Also, how can you get to your age and not have heard of Mozart. I like this video because you two are so fresh and raw. I actually find it funny the way you pronounced Amadeus and a few other things. Subbed just on this video alone.

Learn the world kids.

though when old people like me were 20 we didnt know much about 50 year old singers/bands or the name of music genres

To relate to this song using a Austrian/German accent ,You have to had seen the movie Amadeus ,, about Mozart, the first and greatest musician / composer who Toured music concerts across Europe in the 1760s. They also used his music in the movie Shank saw Redemption, Also the movie Sound of Music used Austrian /German accent with the children, and just happened to take place in Mozart birth town Salzburg Austria , but never mention his name ,even though there was Mozart statue in the town square. Funny a movie about Music made in Salzburg Austria but not mentioning Mozart? Rock Me Amadeus!

the song is German , the 70's 80's was the best of times to be alive ..

This was also done by Falco in English.
