Dr. Zaius Dr. Zaius!

"Rock me Amadeus" isn't supposed to be goofy. At the time it came out Falco was already a star and known to be provocative and excessive due to drug use. He was scandalous at the time and "Rock me Amadeus" was an allegory to Falco's life. He was basically comparing himself with Mozart which was a part of his personality/image: arrogance, a little bit megalomania, egoism but always polite and in a suit with manners and always talking in a strong austrian dialect but still some kind of "asshole" and "macho". The song "Jeanny" was very controversal and scandalous and a few radio stations and TV stations refused to play it. Newspapers reported that the song is immoral. It's basically in the point of view of a psychopathic, obsessed kid-napper/stalker (maybe even rapist) and the psychotic sexy creep was somehow Falco's image and the media claimed it would glorify stalkers/rapists. However, it was a huge hit and it's very well written and raises awareness concerning a serious topic (kid-napping and all those young girls missing). He was later known for his severe drug problems and it's such a shame that Todd didn't talk about the song "Mutter, der Mann mit dem Koks ist da" which was a crazy 90ies techno dance hit in the style of a children's song but playing with puns and homonymes and it's actually about cocaine. I loved this song as a child and I only understood the literal words: "Mom, the man selling coals is there" but it has a double-meaning. "Out of the dark (into the light)" actually has an english chorous (just like Jeanny) and it's about his addiction and dying and it was eerily released a short time prior to his death. I remember that they released the song "Egoist" (about him being an egoist) after his death. He's a legend here.

As an Austrian it's so strange to hear Falco be referred as a one hit wonder

I was at university with a bunch of Germans at the time Falco died. And they were inconsolably sobbing! It was shocking. They held him in such high regard.

One-hit wonder? Here in Austria you would receive capital punishment for such a bold statement...and that thing has been illegal since... like... forever

When this song was at its peak, a local DJ was so sick of getting requests for it that he locked himself in the broadcast booth and played the song for 10 hours straight, until the whole city was just as sick of it as he was.

Vienna Calling is about people emigrating from Vienna into the world and Vienna calling for them. Vienna had the lowest population in 100 years in the 80s.

By reading some Austrian comments, this dude sounds like hes remembered as "the Michael jackson of Austria" or something

"What the hell was going on in 1985?" Cocaine. Lots and lots of cocaine.

I'm loving all the Germans and Austrians in the comments telling stories of Falco!

“There wasn’t a rush of German-language hits” Nena disagrees

German joke: "The austrians managed to make Mozart an austrian and Hitler a german in the minds of the world."

As a German all I can tell you is this: This man has become an icon over here based on his goofyness mixed with some VERY rare strokes of genius storytelling. One of the best songs to combine the two is "Mutter der Mann mit dem Koks ist da". It's a dance song, pretending to be about a type of refined coal being delivered ("coke" in English). The point of the song is, that "Koks" (just like coke) is used both for coal and cocaine. And the song is, in fact, about a mother prostituting herself for cocaine in front of her children. Just like der Kommissar is about cocaine. And pretty much all of his later works. Except for the last two hits of his, released after his death, that revolved around depression and suicide in the case of "out of the dark" and about only really living while slowly falling towards death in the case of "verdammt wir leben noch". This leads many to believe that his car accident was actually on purpose and therefore suicide.

Full disclosure: I'm German, not Austrian, and I'm 25, so obviously I wasn't around while Falco was big, so obviously I might be getting some of this wrong, but in hindsight, I don't feel like German-speaking people really consider Rock Me Amadeus (or any other Falco song for that matter) a novelty. At least not more than Bohemian Rhapsody is considered a novelty - sure, it's odd and over the top bombastic and kinda silly when you look at it, but it comes from such a genuine place that you can in fact groove to it unironically. Also, for context, during the 80s we had our own take on new wave, called Neue Deutsche Welle. NDW didn't really have to be about anything - or rather, they could be about extremely mundane and silly things. There are NDW hits that are still remembered fondly today about driving your car really fast, phone sex hotlines and the gross domestic product (no, really). Falco was kinda out there even by those standards though. His over the top personality, his strong Viennese dialect, his forceful delivery and his fondness for adding rap/hip-hop elements to his music really made him stand out. He is often described as "the first German-language rapper". Of course, it also "helps" that he was known as pompous, difficult to work with and deeply, deeply troubled, and that he died tragically at a rather young age. There's a lot of reverence for his work and he's considered a genuine legend. His most well-known song, at least here in Germany, is probably Jeanny. For good reason - it sounds fantastic, it's bone-chillingly creepy and at the time, it was highly controversial due to its subject matter. Personally, I love it a lot. I'm a huge fan of obsession songs and to me it's an all-time classic. While it's from the point of view of a deranged killer and possible rapist, it clearly doesn't glorify or romanticise his actions, as some have stated, although just writing a song about this subject at all was pushing it to far for some people. Falco claimed that the song wasn't about what it was CLEARLY about, but that Jeanny was just a runaway girl - hence him releasing Coming Home, a "conclusion" to the story where Jeanny returns home, alive and well. Jeanny Pt. 2 wasn't released IN SPITE of the controversy, but BECAUSE of it. As I've stated, my perspective is somewhat limited, but that's just my two cents.

Falco may have been a one hit wonder in the U.S., but he was enormous in Europe throughout most of the Eighties. Around the same time as Rock Me, Amadeus was riding high in the charts, it was joined by both Vienna Calling and Jeannie, both of whom were smashes. And let´s not forget breakthrough hit Der Kommissar from 1981, probably his most celebrated song overall.

I am an Austrian and when I saw Falco being called a One Hit Wonder I furrowed my brow

You're not even aware you released this just in time for his would-be 60th birthday, right? The media over here in Austria have been celebrating it like crazy.

The urge to see Todd wear colored wigs and play Mozart is getting stronger and stronger the longer the video goes on.

I'm not sure how visible a comment will be, more than one year after this video's release, but for posterity I would like to provide a little more context for "Jeanny" since I was alive in Austria at the time. The Wikipedia page really does not do justice to how big of a scandal the song was at the time of its release, especially coming from Falco being a superstar at the peak of his career with huge exposure. It was met with protests, heavy boycotts towards any radio station that played it, very public discussions in higher-up political circles, and even death threats. It is my firm belief that "Jeanny (Part 2)" was damage control, assuring to any concerned party that in fact, "Jeanny is alive and well." However intentional or not, Falco overstepped what was considered "pop artistic" license at the time, and while "Jeanny" remains one of his most well known tracks his career never fully recovered afterwards. (That, and his music was deeply rooted in the '80s and did not transition well into the '90s.) Also, "Wiener Blut" is an on-the-nose reference to one of the most famous musical pieces of Johann Strauss II. The first few bars of the waltz are even played in the intro of Falco's song.

You missed out "Out of the dark!" one of the most haunting sendoffs a Rockstar ever gave to themselves. It was basically like he had announced a suicide with the lyrics going like: "do I have to die to live on?" Suicide speculations around his death actually never died down. Seeing that video, listening to that song, right after his death, was absolute spine-chilling.

Falco gets 1 hit, doesn't even convert into a decent combo *tsk *tsk

"You wouldn't know our immediate influences. They're mostly German." "Kraftwerk? Falco? Hasselhoff?"

"The Red Hot Chili Peppers don't write about California as much as Falco writes about Vienna" I'm dead, RIP me

I unapologetically love the song Jeanny. The big huge chorus and the creepyness of the lyrics combined with his personality is just such a delicious mix. If a song about a stalker can be a hit for The Police, why not a song from the perspective of a murderous kidnapper?

Ironically, "Amadeus" sounds great on the piano.

in Germany and Austria Falco is a Legend the first Rapper in german Language. He is so importand for German Hip Hop. He is the Grandmaster Flash of Germany/Austria/Swizerland.

Der Kommisar was actually my entrance song when I was a professional wrestler, no word of a lie

Todd in the Shadows: *calls Falco a one hit wonder* Sebastian Kurz: "Todd is barred from entering Austria and will be shot on sight!"

Jeanny is amazing tho. It has this raw power that can't be denied. Which is fitting considering the subject matter.

Yeah, Falco was big in Europe in the 80s. Over here in Belgium, everyone can still sing along to Der Kommissar, Rock me Amadeus and especially Jeanny (arguably his biggest hit over here). Heck, for a long time "Alles klar Herr Kommissar?" was a catchphrase over here, due to it sounding very similar to how we say it in Dutch.

Omg Todd, I'm from Latin America and we have heard of this guy more than once. I can't believe Jeanny wasn't a big hit in the U.S. because it was pretty known here. Every 80's radio station has it in their playlists! It doesn't sound aaall the time, but is somewhere!

Jeany is unironically one of the saddest darkest pop songs ever made. Absolutely chilling...

The nickname, "Falco" came exactly along as you think Todd. Falco was searching for an artist name (can't start a career with "Hans Hölzl"), was on tour in Munich with one of his early bands, watched ski jumping on TV and decided that "Falco" from the east german ski jumper Falko Weißflog sounds just awesome enough. It was right a this time when he put on his stage persona as Falco, the over-arrogant and a bit slimy superstar with glued-back hair and expensive suits. And you're also right about his wish to essentially be the continental David Bowie. Listen to "Helden von Heute" (Heroes of today) from his debut album Einzelhaft, it is essentially a new wave version of David Bowies Heroes. "Vienna Calling" is probably a reference to Eurovision. Every participaing country "phones in" their scores, and it's tradition to start with the phrase "Hello [host city], this is [captial of the country giving the votes] calling." "Wiener Blut" is the name of a waltz by Johann Strauß Jr.

Not gonna lie I liked every single song played in this video, I might check out his other stuff. A damn shame he died so young. Glad he got success in Europe! He deserved better here in the US!

Dr Zaius Dr Zaius help me Dr Zaius.... Can I play the piano anymore? Well of course you can! Well I couldn't before!

The weirdest fact about Rock Me Amadeus is that it reached #6 on Billboard’s R&B chart.

As an Austrian this sure was a pretty weird episode to watch. I can sing along with a lot of those but then there where some I've never even heard of. Also I just looked at the lyrics and... I have no idea what Vienna Calling is about either. Some of it is a bit patriotic in a chill way and the rest is... about girls but what does it have to do with each other? idk But yeah Falco is like... a bit of staple of music here, I think? You just KNOW him. There's a song called "Nie mehr Schule" (No more school, I think you can imagine why THAT one stuck around) and there's this tradition of a "Maturastreich" (something like graduation prank) where at the end of the last year of high school the graduates get to prank the entire school and also get drunk as fuck on school grounds (the second part is technically not allowed I think but this IS Austria) and if you haven't conga-lined through an entire school (including the classrooms while the teachers teach!) with a stereo while loudly and wrongly yelling "No more school" then wtf are you doing with your life honestly Jeanny creeped me the fuck out when I was a kid tho. I'm pretty sure the girl talked about is also 13 or something? But yeah, from an Austrian perspective he most definitely isn't a One-Hit-Wonder lol

Falco definitely was no one-hit in Germany and Austria. but also the Austria music of today still has some falcoaesk moments in them - see: Bilderbuch - Bungalow (for one recent example) liebe grüße aus Deutschland ;)

I'm a bit sad that you didn't mentioned "Mutter, der Mann mit dem Koks ist da", which is a techno track he released in the 90's entirely about cocain.

The thing to understand about the movie Amadeus is, Salieri is basically Frank Grimes.

Watching this from Austria I'm only shaking my head about how he could be perceived as a one-hit wonder anywhere when he totally defined the whole decade over here ....

i can't even describe how much i love his sound. i do think he deserved to be bigger and tbh after watching this video it makes total sense that he was a prodigy who studied music at a conservatorship. his melodies are "right" like even with the goofy lyrics and weird vocal delivery his music still has this "professional" feel about it. he could've been a massive producer if he wanted to, may he rest in peace

Well its funny how you talk about jeanny^^ Back in Germany and Austria Radiostations refused to play it for about a year and despite that he still managed to score a Top hit That was the impressive part

Kinda disappointed that "Mutter, der Mann mit dem Koks ist da" (Mother, the man with the coke is here) isn't mentioned.

4:10 The term is "Denglisch" , Herr Todd.

Pretty sure "I'll be Watching You" by the Police counts pretty firmly as a serial killer anthem.

I teach preschool and through a really weird confluence of events this became their favorite song, they will drop anything in order to dance to it.

The song Jeany is quite the cultural phenomenon over here, and pretty well known to those living in the nineties and early 2000nds it was used in a capaign to raise awareness of child abuse if I remember it correctly and the dark tone of it really helps it’s status as one of Falcos greatest hits. Out of the Dark really hit home during the time it came out, It was basically the first time I realised the person singing it just died... Added the morbid tone and the usual: As if he knew he would die ( like duh he abused drugs aperently hard enough that this alone should ahve killed him) Add in the fact of my doom and gloom teenage angst... He was quite big... over here... but like Nena or other “Local greats” here... not necessarily aimed at Anglo-Saxon sensibilities ^^ Great retrospective though:)

Jeanny was actually pretty damn populair in Europe (I still hear it on the radio at times)

You missed a couple of the coolest factoids: That's not technically German he's rapping in, it's the "dead" dialect of Viennese, so apparently there are some lyrics that even sound like gibberish to German speakers. He was banned from Vienna radio for his early hit "Ganz Wien", because it's lyrics declared that "all Vienna is of cocaine and heroin". The song "Vienna Calling" was supposed to be a peace offering. And, if you can find it, the bio-picture "Falco - Damn, we're still alive!" is darkly hilarious, with Falco's response to most success and failure to declare his career over ("Der Kommissar is number one throughout Europe, I'll never top that!" or "Junge Roemer has underperformed, I'm done!") and lock himself in his apartment, binging on cocaine and hookers. Anyway, love your work. Keep it up.

I lived in Germany with my folks during the mid-2000s. There's no doubt that Falco will always be a pop culture icon there. You can bet that his songs got considerable radio play back then, and I'm sure they still do. Verdammt wir leben noch! Thanks for the memories. :)

There actually is "Apop" or as it is known "Austropop". But that style is completely different from what Falco is known for...

I don't care if you or anyone else say this song is ridiculous I genuinely love this song just like most cheesy songs from the 80's.

Thank you, Todd, for both introducing me to the original version of Der Kommisarr and getting me interested in re-watching Amadeus. I now love both.

Taco would make for an excellent One Hit Wonderland. Puttin' On The Ritz. The dude still lip syncs the song to this day.

When I was living in Austria I even saw Mozartkugeln with Falco's likeness from the Rock Me Amadeus MV on the packaging... And it was not some novelty stuff you would find in souvenir shops, it was actually widely sold in supermarkets... God I miss my neighbourhood Spar. Even here in Romania he is viewed as a quality artist, unlike most German synthpop acts that were popular here in the 80s (like Modern Talking), after all these years I am still puzzled Todd didn't like this. Also, being to Vienna twice and wanting to visit the city at least once more, I 100% understand the guy's obsession with his hometown.

Watching this as a german is soooooooo fucking funny :) Really nice one. Wünsche dir alles Gute. Liebe deine Show und gucke sie schon seit Jahren. Mach weiter so. YOU ROCK ^^

Fuck sleep Imma watch this.

I'm loving this random facts section and I want to chip in something I didn't really find mentioned here. It's about the song "Jeanny". May be an obvious one, but here goes. The video is actually heavily based on the 1931 classic German horror movie "M". It is about a serial killer of children. Falco wears the same kind of clothing as the killer. In the movie the killer eventually gets marked with the letter "M" on his right shoulder, and Falco has the letter "F" in the same fashion. The movie does not show the violence itself, instead cutting to something like a balloon the child was carrying trapped in between electric wires or a ball rolling away (the doll dropping on the ground in Falco's video). I love this song, and not being a native German speaker at first I was really confused if there is anything in it that allows the listener to know for a fact that the protagonist killed Jeanny. Apparently yes.

99 Luftballoons from Nena was a big hit in the US in its original form, the english one wasn't so great.

Where I live I would actually consider Jeanny as big, if not a bigger, hit than Rock Me Amadeus ever was.

Was living in Germany at the time of Falco's death. A few weeks later I went to visit another American friend living in Vienna. We went to the cemetery where Falco was buried, and it was Princess Diana levels of tribute everywhere. I rather like Falco's music. Thanks, Todd, for "Deutschlish" because "Germlish" is a lot worse. (I personally wasn't sure what to call that. Deutschlish it is. Also, he did use Italian, too, such as in "Junge Roemer")

In my German college class we had to recite a poem/song in German. This what I chose and everyone loved it lol, the class even cheered when I finished because we had to recite by memory. Also IIRC Falco was where the Star Fox/Lylat Wars character got his name from.

Flaco as a one-hit wonder? That surprised me... He's great, and always will be! :D

Jesus, you've waited two years for this? WHY!?!?!

How could you not play "Dr. Zaius" from The Simpsons over the credits??

Actually he had the chance to become bigger in the US, his manager even wanted him to sing with Madonna but he didn't want. He wanted to stay at home with his loving mum and Apfelstrudel ;) In the 90s he started to play in front of smaller crowds, the Donauinselfest 1993 and the Symphonic concert 1994 were exceptions. In Austria and Germany those years are senn as climax #2 and his first comeback. In the mid 90s he had a little success with his techno/europop song "Mutter der Mann mit dem Koks ist da". You can read more about this important song in the comments. Maybe the most important point is, that he changed his name back in 1995 from Falco to in T>>MA. His friends told him that he had to decide between Falco and Hans Hoelzel. And I think he chose Hans Hoelzel. Just my opinion. He had a really bad personality disorder and he had problems with his sudden fame. Falco was always the cool, nimble-witted guy, but his real personality, Hans, was shy and full of unsatisfied love. The women wanted Falco, not Hans. That and the fact that he came back to the drugs destroyed him from inside so he went in the Dominican Republic.. Not, he didn't moved, he flee.. They say he planned another comeback but I don't really think so. I know I lean far out of the window but I think he wanted it to handle like David Bowie did it. In his very last song, Out of the Dark, there's this line.. "Muss ich denn sterben um zu leben ?" That means "Must I die to live ?" There's also a video from 1997 on KZfaq in which heself comments this line with a sarcastic "Yeah, that's the question, isn't it ?" while playing on the bass guitar. And let's be honest.. In Germany and Austria the song hit like a bomb, he got his posthumous comeback. Without his mysterious and till now in parts uncleared death, this song would've been insignificant and would've probably not been in the top 10 charts. For me it is a planned death.. The end of the project "Falco" and the chance for Hans Hoelzel to start a new life with a nice account ;) And those contradictions do exist ! And there are way too many to ignore them. The death report is actually one big fake with wrong drug results. This is proven by, but the most don't know it. Falcos friends still say in 2017 he would've been high on drugs while the crash and their statements about the crash are just wrong. One of them, who arrived on the crash site 3 minutes after the crash, said that Falco would've been pressed against the drivers seat by the airbag. But that's wrong.. An airbag becomes limp seconds after the crash and on the airbag you can't see any blood. The wreck is still kept as a wreck. And then there's this song, the spirit never dies.. Part 3 of the Jeanny history.. Allegedly found in 2009 after more than 20 years because of a water pipe breakage. But independent music producers say that this song must be definitely from the early or mid 2000s. Again, people say it would definitely be from 1986 but even a layman can say that his voice sounds deeper and rougher than in the mid 80s. He smoked very much so his voice changed with the years. In the 80s the voice was way younger than in this song. It just sounds like the voice was made synthetically younger, so far that in some parts it doesn't even sound like Falco xD These examples are just a few in a huge amount of unclear stuff.

As you may have seen, i just discovered your channel and im throwing my two cents in every video. I live in a South American country with a large German immigrant population, and i remember Falco being super popular over here in the 80s. Even my husband who is not of German descent, used to have Vienna Calling as a ringtone for his boss (who is of Austrian descent! haha). I studied German as a teen and i know the complete lyrics to Der Komissaar hahaha!!!! Thanks for the video!!!

Delilah by Tom Jones is a murder ballad. Then there's Nick Cave...

Falco? Hell to the fucking yes!

Mozart was absolutely a rockstar of his day. The film is displaying his mad genius.

The hell…? “One hit wonder”… Falco?!? Even here in Brazil he was very famous! Vienna Calling was a big hit here!

Can't help but feel sorry for the guy. And I finally get that musical bit from the Simpsons, when they had an episode with Troy McClure in a musical version of Planet of the Apes, which had a musical number dedicated to Dr. Zaius, with a very similar tune to Rock Me Amadeus.

IM POTATOES IM POTATOES IM POTATOES IM POTATOES IM POTATOES IM POTATOES IM POTATOES *rock me im potatoes*

True fact, my dad almost named me Falco Amadeus after this song. Mom said no.

Jeanny is a massive hit in Belgium. Almost every teenager in this country will yell that chorus along

Aaannnnddddd it's never leaving my head now. Thanks Todd. Now I need to dust off my Amadeus DVD.

3:36 That "FALCO" sound from Melee I wet myself

That moment of realization during "Der Kommissar" was everything I had hoped for. Maybe you could cover After the Fire in a later episode, since their cover of the song was their only hit stateside, or practically anywhere for that matter.

I kind of love Falco's style of music, I think I'm gonna look into him more.

Every comment is like "well actually in *insert country here*" Todd found a way to bring out everyone from everywhere this guy had ever been popular. Honestly seems like the only comments on this video are that people who are deeply familiar with this guys catalogue and the Americans just decided to sit this video out. Me personally I'm just an ignorant American who hasn't heard this song before and everything that's being said doesn't mean anything to me.

Falco's version of "Der Kommissar" DID became a hit in the U. S.-went to #10 on the Billboard Dance Charts!!! Wondering why he didn't talk about Dr. Zaius, which is better!!! BTW, how about talking about Sinade O'Connors' "Nothing Compared to You" as your next pick. She's a One-Hit Wonder here, but, did more for what she did on Saturday Night Live in 1992, than having just one hit!

I unironically love the video! 18th century mixed with punk rock aestetics is great.

Recently learned my stepdad knows Falco very well because of when he was stationed in Germany. Falco played everywhere in every bar.

Falco would have turned 60 this year. He is still the only big star we Austrians ever had (since Mozart, of course). Thank you for making this hilarious review!

...wow, I'm a CHILD of the 80s and I'd never actually heard this song before. Nonsensical as the lyrics are to a non-German speaker (and from what I understand, even to a German speaker), that instrumentation is kind of...well, epic. Todd had me hooked on the song from the second he started his piano cover. ...and now it won't leave my head. EVER.

"I can't imagine a world where Falco had a sustainable career in America"... I can. Think "Man in the High Castle"

I lived in Serbia and Hungary and I know most of those Falco songs, they're quite popular

Love your reviews! But you siriously underestimate Falco here. He was an amazing artist. (Amadeus is a fun one though) one Hit Wonder isn't really a phrase i'd have thought of for him. BTW Jeanny is still played in discotheques over here :D O love Jeannie Side note 1: Vienna has a thing for the macabre side of life Side note 2: And those two postmortem songs really got the conspiracy engine running.

Falco's "Der Kommisar" was on MTV ALL THE TIME! As a little kid I remember being hypnotized by how he's running from the cops or whatever for the whole video on a green screen that is so lame it closes the circle and becomes an amazing surrealist masterpiece.

Here in Czech Republic he was one of the "forbidden fruit" western pop stars during the 80's, only being allowed to perform here and be on radios after the Velvet Revolution. My first contact with his music however was a parody cover of "Jeanny" by Těžkej Pokondr, sort of like Czech Al Yankovices. The song (called "Džíny") is about a guy, who was partying with "a singer from Austria" yesterday and now he can't find his most favourite pants with all leads pointing to Falco stealing them. The rest of the song is filled with depression and regrets over the loss...

Rammstein is currently doing a stadium tour in the states. Falco was the river from which they flow.

You should do "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve next.

Well that and the reason Mozart comes off as a smug punchable prick in the movie is because of a potentially unreliable narrator as the whole thing is framed as Saliari's remberance of the matter.

I discovered the song “Mope” by The Bloodhound Gang and the intro talks about Falco and samples Rock Me Amadeus.... what a trip!

As an American who graduated from HS in ‘85 in then-West Germany, I can say Falco is certainly not a one-hit wonder. Very successful and revered in Europe.

I just hope we can agree that the After the Fire version of Der Kommissar is way worse than the original Falco version.

Todd squandered two opportunities for Simpsons references here: the Dr. Zaius song, and Bart as rock star Mozart.

As an european I love to watch this show, for a lot of reasons actually, it's awesome but sometimes it's just really fun to see an american perspective on european hits. Like, as a german speaker to call Falco a one hit wonder is wild to me. Over here he is a legend with a ton of awesome material. I didn't even knew there was a english version of "der Kommissar"`! Seriously, check out some of the deeper cuts there are some truly weird and fun hidden gems form him out there.

I'm German and his songs are still played on the radio. My parents liked him, i guess the songs reminded them of their teenage years. I remember when i was young and driving with my Dad, he always turend the radio up when 'Jeanny' and 'Out of the dark' were played.
