    It's in German and yes, was a huge hit worldwide. He's singing about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who was considered a rockstar in his time. The word "superstar" doesn't translate so it's in English. Considering no recorded music in the late 1700s, Mozart became famous because of his written music, plays and much later in the recordings who were recorded by other musicians. You were extremely lucky if you actually heard him play. So he was never wealthy as are musicians of today. Falco is honoring Mozart's music in this song. He was composing symphonies at age 3..... a child prodigy. He died at age 34.

      And not a single word mentions that both of them are not from Germany but from Austria. Just mentioned that they sing in German to give the impression that they are from Germany, Because in Germany you have nothing but to pretend that world-wide famous people and brands are from Germany.

The topic in Falco's "Wiener Blut" is about the corruption in the Austrian politics, which where already there in the 1970s with Club 45. There is another band, who have a song with the name "Wiener Blut". It is a German industrial Metal band called Rammstein, if you need it heavy. I am originally from Austria and I like all three (a very odd mixture I know). I am also old enough, that I could experience Falco in Interviews in the 1990s, when I was a teen.

    This was big on MTV back in its heyday, heavy video playing. Back in the day when they would play videos from a number of different genres one after another. Edit: a few years before this song and video came there was a huge movie Amadeus, about Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus life. It was a multi-Oscar winner that a lot of people went to see, so people were quite familiar to Amadeus.

    Chod & Dee - Do yourselves a favour and watch the movie 'Amadeus'. It had 18 Oscar nominations & won eight, so you can trust it is a good movie well-worth watching! It is a movie about Amadeus Mozart and it very effectively portrays him as like the first rock star. Falco's song plays on the same idea of Mozart as a rock star. The song came out after the movie. Do watch the movie and see how in Mozart's day, classical music was pop music. As someone not really into classical music the movie gave me a much greater appreciation of it.

    I LOVED the singer named FALCO. So, I looked for people reacting to this song. I found you! Thanks. This song, ROCK ME AMADEUS made it to #1 on the charts. It was filmed with the cast of the movie "Amadeus". It was a movie about MOZART. The famous composer of the late 1700's. ( His actual name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) Mozart was so talented, he toured Europe, and played the piano at the tender age of 5. The extras that played all the parts of the people in Austria, at that period of time, were asked to come to be in the video. Falco was born in Austria and speaks German, Mozart was also born in Austria. I enjoyed how kind and how cool you treated this very important time of life, to many of us. This was made in about 1985. The way those people related to each other was all about that era of sexuality and close body contact. No one stared at a cell phone, they stared at each other. It showed how Falco felt very comfortable with the rough bikers, and how much they had his back and liked him, too.
    Here is the English translation to this hit song. It's about Mozart : 1st verse: He was a punk and he lived in the biggest city, it was in Vienna where he did everything, he had debts because he drank, but all the women loved him, and all of them shouted "come and rock me Amadeus". He was a superstar, he was popular, he was so exalted, because he had flair, he was a virtuoso, was a rock idol, and everyone shouted "come and rock me Amadeus". . . 2nd verse: It was in 1780 and it was in Vienna, no plastic money anymore, the banks were against him, where his debts came from was well-known by everyone- he was a ladies' man, ladies loved his punk, he was a superstar, he was so popular, he was so exalted, that was exactly his flair, he was a virtuoso, was a rock idol, and everyone still shouts today "come and rock me Amadeus"

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart became very popular due to a very popular movie about him that came out about this time. And I’m a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was quite the character back in the day, and the story in the movie revolves around another composer, his rival who hated him. He hated him for his talent his womanizing, his sense of humor, not the kind of behavior. One would expect from a time-honored composer who did his work in the mid 1700s too late 1700s. You have heard many of his compositions at least parts of them.

    Falco was inspired by the success of the film "Amadeus" by Milos Forman, which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1984, and at the same time he paid tribute to his compatriot Wolfgang Amedus Mozart, perhaps the most famous composer along with Beethoven. . Watch the movie, it's worth it, its two main actors shared the nomination for Best Actor.

    The lyrics are a hommage to the world famous classical Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his expensive lifestyle, which left him in constant debt. His lifestyle bounced back and forth between punk and rapper. (If you never heard his music, check him out, he left a ton of music that still inspires musicians today, many of his tunes have been sampled in modern music and the tune for "twinkle, twinkle, little star" is also taken from one of his pieces!)

    Falco was originally Austrian, his songs are mostly sung in German, but he was never afraid to use English phrases, as is common today... But in the 80s, this guy was something special, he was something of a visionary, and in fact, he was the first rap singer in the history of pop music

    The song is basically saying that classical composer Mozart was the musical superstar of his day. He was a child prodigy and was considered outlandish for the time

    Guess the song is more fun if you can follow the german and english. When i hear this song it always reminds me to watch "Amadeus" the movie if you have not seen it you should even if its not 100% a true story it tries to somehow show what a genius he as and why he would be a rockstar today... Its fun to consider what some old artist would make today with the tools we have.

    Falco was absolutely genius. One third of this song is German, one third Englisch and the last third are just noises you might make when you have a stroke. But he makes an absolute masterpiece out of it.

    Well the Movie was good as well as Mozart himself, a genius. Also, EVH's son is named after the subject of this video, so there's that..

    Please watch the movie Amadeus. It is an artistic take on the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It may mke some of Falco's interpretation clearer. As mentioned in the comments earlier, there is an English version. Also try Falco's Der Kommisar. Deutsch and English versions exist. Alles Klar?

  • @R777-RLM
    @R777-RLM Před rokem

    It's tricky, with some English mixed in with German. Der Kommissar, has the original German (Deutsch) version, and an English version. I don't know if this has an English version.

    It's pronounced Om-A-DAY-US, as in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This song was a huge hit (sung in German and English), but the version better known in the USA would probably be by the band: After The Fire (that one entirely in English).

    There is an English version of this, but the German was more popular here in the US just like Nena's "99 Luft Balloons". What few English words you hear is because they don't translate in German. Falco was from Austria and very popular in Europe until his untimely death in a car accident. You really need to check out the movie "Amadeus".

    Many versions of this song .... basically Mozart was a 'music god' -so he's saying Mozart was celebrated in those days as to how we celebrate current rock stars. Austrian singer - died tragically but great artist and this song was huge all over the world. Was top of the US charts but slightly different version.
