My coworker is looking at me with that "What the **** is wrong with you?" look.

He's dead! Oh the horror... the agony! Falco is DEAD!

I was studying in Salzburg when Falco died. It was literally a national tragedy and crisis like that none seen since they had to worm their way out of being associated with the Reich after the second world war...

There were 72 hour Falco memorial marathons on the radio? 72 flippin' hours of FALCO, man!!! Verrueckt! Unsinn!

that's a long time to hear two songs played over and over ...
My point exactly. Hey, they each have a b-side, too...

For his fraternity hell week, my brother had to dance for 24 hours to that one Rob Bass song.

Written by the masterminds behind ABBA but sung by Murray Head...
Lyrics written by Tim Rice. It's originally from the musical Chess, which has lots of suprisingly good music that's mostly not that ABBAey.

I have the CD of Chess... very good music and cool tale.

I'd like to see the musical live though sometime.. if even on dvd.

DER KOMMISAR
I thought After The Fire did Der Kommissar???

Lyrics:
Zwei drei vier one two three
Its easy to see
But its not that I don't care so
Cause I hear it all the time
But they never let you know
On the TV and the radio
She was young her heart was pure
But every night is bright she got
She said sugar is sweet
She come rappin' to the beat
Then I knew that she was hot

She was singin
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
You're in his eye
And you'll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

She said babe you know
I miss Jill and Joe
And all my funky friends
But my street understanding
was just enough to know what she really meant
And I got to thinking while she was talking
That I know she told the story
Of those special places that she goes
When she rides with the others in the subway

Singin'
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
And you don't know why
You say your life
Is gonna make you die...

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

Well we meet Jill and Joe
And brother Herr
And the whole cool gang (and oh)
They're rappin' here they're rappin' there
But she's climbin' on the wall
Its a clear case, Herr Kommissar
Cause all the children know
They're all slidin' down into the valley
They're all slipping on the same snow

Hear the children
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
He's got the power
And you're so weak
And your frustration will not let you speak

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
Then you'll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
(repeat)

My GF directed it in college. It's a difficult show to do. Do you have the US cast of the British version? They're totally different (storyline, song order, new songs), the original US one is much much better...

Cool. No one ever has it. It took me months to find one to give to her when she was thinking of applying to do the show...
I got it from my roommate at college. He was a dj on the local college radio station and he was always getting tons of cd's.
