Wow a reaction to the most scandalous song of the 80s 😂. It was THE No 1 smash hit im Germany, Austria, Switzerland, sold millions of times and never been played in Radio or MTV 😊. Part two is "Coming Home", a song Falco did to calm down the reactions. I have heard Jenny a thousand times. 🤩. Falco has had the only German singing No 1 hit in the US billboard charts - "Rock me Amadeus" 😂
If I'm not mistaken is part 1 out of the prospective of the abuser and part 2 out of the prospective of the abused. There are in total 5 parts.

@@prutteltje1300 you are wrong official only 1 and 2 3 was made after he did die Although the Jeanny theme was planned as a trilogy, only "Jeanny" (Part 1) and "Coming Home" (Part 2) were officially included in the series by Falco. "The Spirit Never Dies (Jeanny Final)" is considered a spurious third installment in the trilogy, which Falco died before completing according to his own plans.
I first arrived in Germany in April, 1986. This song was the most talked about song anyone had ever heard. Every american soldier wanted this song translated by a german friend. Falco, who became known in the states for 'Rock Me, Amadeus," and "Der Kommisar," had some very nice songs. I actually saw him in concert, Mannheim, Germany, and he put on a great show. Unfortunately, he is another artist who died much too young.
This song was quite controversial in 1986 and many radio stations in West Germany boycotted the song. On the other side of The Wall, in East Germany, it was even forbidden to play this song. It was on #1 in the Dutch charts for 4 weeks in 1986.
The “F” stands for Falco obviously, but is also a reference to the movie “M” (1931) by Fritz Lang, a renowned German director. It is a movie about a child predator, very controversial at the time, even more so because the director chose to also show the human side of this killer. He is marked with an “M” on his jacket by a vigilante without him knowing, but now everyone knows who he is. In a following kangaroo court he is sentenced, while he begs for mercy and tries to explane the he does not want to kill either, but the voices in his head are too strong. Very haunting, impressive movie.
I ‘ve always loved the brilliance of this composition: spoken words, singing, German, English, the synths, the newsflash etc. I used to know every word of the newsflash by heart.
Fun fact: the news man was a Real News Man from Germany. Wilhelm Wieben (died 2019) The singer Falco was an famous Austrian unfortunatly died 1998 by car accident in Domenican Republic. His music was Great an Special at That Time
i am from austria, vienna, where falco comes from. this song was a huge scandal, when it was released. radio station refused to play it first. and falco was a scandal by himself. but he was just a lost soul. always searching for something, imo for love and freedom. he died at the age of 41 (car accident at overdose). he is more legend than he ever was. i adore him, his story is so sad. R.I.P. Falco
I was scared as hell when I heard this as a teenager, even though I didn't know exactly what it was about. I lolled when you said: "this is not how you get a date!!"
btw he is talking ab this because it happened very often in the time the song got released and it acted like he was a part of one of these stories but the crazy thing is the story has very different endings if u look at it from different angles but he never had the mindset of this but he wanted to criticize the society cuz this happened so often and most of these people never got caught and even if they did get caught they mostly didnt get any fair punishment (more like a bigger fine and 1-2 yrs in prison sadly)
I honestly don't understand the controversy around this song. People said it glorified or normalized assault but I just don't see it. When I first heard the song as a teenager speaking fluent German and English it actually made me aware that there are creeps in the world and women have to be more careful because too many people target us🤷🏾♀️.
Falco (real name Johann Holzel) was an Austrian singer songwriter who tried to marry German verses with English choruses. The English he knew, he learned from watching films, TV programmes and listening to music sung in English. Obviously being Austrian his first language was German, but he had a love and a fascination with the United States and Britain. As you can see, he had a very powerful voice but sadly died in a horrific car crash.
Shortly after Falco's death, in 1998, his album "Out of the dark (Into the Light)" was released and the (iconic) titletrack sounds like a requiem...for himself! You wont regret to check it out...
Hi, Highly. Falco was for me someone who warned girls about men who could be dangerous. I was a teenagergirl when this song was on the radio. Now 51 years old. He was not a very standard man, but I think he meant well. He died because a car hid him just outside of the place where he had a meeting with the brothers Bolland and Bolland, producers of a lot of good music. Great that Falco was someone who was not afraid to demand attention on a taboo. Died much to early.
Jaap Tamminga, thank you so much for letting me know I truly appreciate that. That definitely goes along with my thoughts of Falco. So basically it is like a Scarlet Letter. Makes sense and cool way doing this in reference to a movie as well. I truly appreciate you!
@@HighlyCombustibleReacts 5:03 you can see a blind man with ballons. This is a reference to "M" too because (spoiler!) it was a blind man selling ballons who identified the murder by his whistling and signed the M on its back.
the song was number 1 of the charts although it was banned by all radio stations, Falco was his time ahead and your reaction showd all the emotion that song should awake, awesome !!!
This song whas product by 2 Dutch guy's Bolland and Bolland (brothers) they told in a docu that it whas so difficult to work togheter whit Falco becaus of his alcohol addiction. That also the reason Falco died much to young.. I requested this one long time ago . but iam glade he is finally on your canal now ..thanx Highly.
Jacco, No thank you and thank you for being patient. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for giving me a little more to go on about Falco. I told you if you were patient that it would get reacted to even when the list was long. I also told you that you're not the only one who loves the same music as you do so lets not discredit it. It's good to see you in the comments. I hope to continue to see you there and you enjoy the videos as much as love the music.
@@HighlyCombustibleReacts absolutely no hard feelings from my side Highly . i think you read it wrong haha. I said i whas glade this falco song whas finally here. Iam patience and its your canal not mine so you can do what ever you want . Iam just a fan of you. 💪😍👍
@@HighlyCombustibleReacts Falco had problems with alcohol + drugs problems. He died in a car accident and drugs were found at the autopsy. Alcohol I think too. Falco didn't die from alcohol poisoning, but in a car accident under the influence of drugs + possibly also related to alcohol.
Ich bin 51 Jahre alt und habe das ganze Theater um diesen Hit mit erlebt 😳 Gott, bin ich alt😂 Aber das Lied läuft heute noch bei mir in der Playlist, sogar als Maxi. Und gleich danach kommt Coming Home. Nach all den Jahren bekomme ich immer noch eine fucking Gänsehaut 🤗 Ein Geniestreich eines zu früh verstorbenen Falco♥️♥️❤️
Wie Wahr! Bin 38 Jahre und war damals noch sehr jung und habe den Kontext nicht verstanden aber die Musik war Mega und Creepy zugleich. Das der Sänger 1998 verstarb habe ich erst jetzt erfahren. 😭 RIP Falco
Geht mir genau so. Und obwohl ich seine Songs immer geliebt habe, der Tragweite, Qualität und der Beständigkeit seiner Songs und auch Videos werde ich mir heute immer mehr bewusst.
Mit 51 ist man nicht alt. Manche nennen das Bergfest 😊 Ich kann mich auch noch gut an den Zirkus damals erinnern. Ich meine der Plattenverkauf war auch zeitweise gestoppt. Aber der Bruder von meinem Kumpel hatte die Scheibe schon und wir haben das Lied ganze Nachmittage lang für alle Schulfreunde auf Kasetten kopiert. Es war irgendwie gruselig, aber auch seltsam faszinierend so eine tragische Geschichte aus der Sicht des Täters zu erleben. Die künsterische Umsetzung ist großartig und setzt heute noch Maßstäbe.
It is a trilogy. Falco made it clear. The girl in the video is not dead and the man in the video is the real victim.Super amazing song by Falco. Of Course for managerial reasons the meaning in the video can be different for any one of us❤❤❤
One of the most scandalous song of the 80's 😂 I found your channel searching for Falco's reactions, unfortunately few of them exists, keep growing with your channel! You gained a new subscriber with this reaction! Greetings from Brazil 😎🇧🇷
I remember this song - video not shown on TV here in Norway and somehow the lyrics it played right into what I as a teen saw going on IRL. It is still happening - worse than ever. TY for your reaction.
Can remember hearing it on the radio in the 80s like it was yesterday. Could understand the German lines in the song because my German was and is good. This song is on my Spotify list. Love your reaction, and your expression.
been a fan of Falco since 1995, bc of rock me amadeus, then heard his other stuff and was hooked, more so with the Jeanny and coming home song, at the time the actress who plays Jeanny is 15 yrs old lol
This might be late but the „F“ on his shoulder at 5:02 is a reference to the Fritz Lang movie „M“ which is about a murderer who has „M“ written on his back (like Falcos „F“ in this video). Fritz Lang was a famous Austrian filmmaker in the 1920s based in Germany.
Imagine making a song about a serialkiller now, you can go to jail for that lol. You gotta love the 80's where everything is possible, like "the police - every breath you take" song about a stalker :)
This song was played in an episode of Tatort crime serie. It about a pimp, whose singing about one of his girls. This was quit chocking when it gone on the air
Loved this reaction 😍 How refreshing to view this modern standpoint from the standpoint of a german woman who was experiencing this slightly disturbing but masterful piece of music in the 80s 😉
the F is a homage to the movie M from 1931, Jeanny (song) - Wikipedia, was looking up the actual song, wanted to see this. liked and subbed, hello from Cobourg Ontario Canada
The song "Jeanny" by Falco was extremely controversial due to its controversial themes and lyrics. Here are some of the reasons why the song caused a stir: Sexual violence and criminality: the lyrics of the song deal with topics such as sexual violence and criminality. Falco sings about the kidnapping and imprisonment of a woman named Jeanny. These topics are extremely sensitive and disturbing to many people. Ambiguity of the lyrics: The lyrics of the song are intentionally vague and leave many questions unanswered, such as whether Jeanny is with the narrator willingly or against her will. This ambiguity led to different interpretations of the song. Publication controversy: "Jeanny" was indexed in Germany, meaning that it was not made available to young people under 18. This led to further discussions about freedom of expression and censorship. Public outrage and discussions: The song provoked heated public discussions in several countries, especially in Germany and Austria. Some people felt the song was morally questionable, while others argued that art should have the freedom to address controversial issues. As a result, "Jeanny" became one of Falco's most controversial and well-known songs, and it polarized the public. Despite the controversies, the song was commercially successful and reached high chart positions. Falco stylistic device has always been to write more clear lyrics so that people discuss and question some things about themselves and in society. The Commissar, Jeanny, Rock me amdeus or Mama the man with the coke is there. In Germany, coke has several meanings. Once it is coke umd cocaine but also a product of coal which is used for heating. This coke was usually delivered by men and poured into the cellar or carried. Therefore, for example, in the song you can either think of a drug dealer or just a coal supplier.
Wikipedia excerpt "Jeanny ist der Titel einer Serie von Liedern des österreichischen Sängers Falco, deren erster Teil einen der größten Skandale in der Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Popmusik auslöste. Zu Lebzeiten des 1998 gestorbenen Sängers erschienen und freigegeben sind die drei Titel Jeanny (1985; ab 1986 als Jeanny (Part 1) bezeichnet), Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2, ein Jahr danach, 1986) und Bar Minor 7/11 (Jeanny Dry) (1990). Ohne Freigabe durch Falco erschienen postum die Versionen Where Are You Now? (Jeanny Part III) (2000) und The Spirit Never Dies (Jeanny Final) (2009)." One part was also banned at that time and many radio stations boycotted the song and did not play it.
The story is deliberately open to interpretation. One interpretation is that the protagonist is a kidnapper, another interpretation is that Jeanny was his girlfriend who drove him mad. Maybe Jeanny and everything is just the interpretation of a mad man. And there are many more other interpretations between ...
I will never ever get sick of this song😍. Even know all the words to the newsflash part, and German really isn't my best language😁... I love it. Somebody has probably already mentioned it in the comments, but this song is not really about him, but about girls being abducted in general... I mean, I think🙄... slightly creepy nonetheless... but so good! Your reaction is so great🤣... keep 'em coming!
Ich bin 1974 geboren und habe die "Neue Deutsche Welle" erlebt. FALCO (ein Österrreicher) war dabei. Ständig im Radio und überall. Lustig `n Ami zu sehen wie er das hört. hahahahahahahahahaaaaaahahahaaaa xD DO NENA NEXT!!!!! NENA IS SUPER GERMAN!
Ohhh, I hadn't heard this song till I was 18 years old, almost same age as Jeanny... I loved this song but for sure as I didn't speak very good english and german, i haven"t understood this song... So thank you for this video and explanations :)
The "F" on Falco's trenchcoat in the video refers to the 1931 German film M by Fritz Lang in which a blind man marks the murderer with a chalk sign in the same way. (Wikipedia)
Child's voice: Bump bump, rider (Can also be translated as "up and down, rider" - in German "hoppe hoppe, reiter"). Tiel: A melody in wind. Child: My heart no longer beats. Tiel: And the child sings from the dirt/earth. Child's voice: Bump bump, rider Tiel: And no angel descends down. Child: My heart no longer beats. Tiel: Only the rain cries on the grave. Child's voice: Bump bump, rider Tiel: A melody in wind. Child: My heart no longer beats. Tiel: And the child sings from the dirt/earth. Rammstein - Spieluhr (Play Hour - Creepiest song ever, prettymuch). Just one more thing, this is a good thing to keep in mind in general, in life: when you see the colors RED and BLACK and only these 2 colors, RUN tf away. You want nothing to do with those ppl.
Ray send it to me and I will get it on the list. Just keep in my list is long and you will need to be patient. But I can promise that I will get to it and you will have a reaction. Here is the best way to send it to me bit.ly/RequestHXC I truly appreciate you.
This song caused the single biggest scandal in German music history. Some radio stations refused to play it, but it became a huge hit, anyway. The news anchorman you saw was an actual anchorman at the time on the most important news show on German TV and that, I think, made the whole story too real for some people. A lot of Germans weren't ready for it, but I liked it then and it's still something I like to listen to today. Part 2 (Coming home) was a great song as well. There were more parts, some even without Falco, but they are not worth listing to. By the way, the girl who played Jeanny was just 15 at the time.
My mom didn't want us watching this video clip. She didn't really want to explain why. So...that started me thinking about it and what was so wrong with it. Before her reaction I was just fine with it.
😂 a think so too! Had nooit gedacht dat ik met dit liedje uit de jaren tachtig een schrijfmarathon zou doen met een Amerikaan hahaha, zie ☝️ is nu wel genoeg Falco.en doooooorrrrrrr!

Jeanny is not in the cell with him, she's only in his mind, he's imagining her being there as he's obsessed with her.
And than he killed her

that movie is must watch even today, still makes vallid points what to do with pedofiles and the courtsystem and how to handle such problems
I ‘ve always loved the brilliance of this composition: spoken words, singing, German, English, the synths, the newsflash etc. I used to know every word of the newsflash by heart.
And the 8 min Maxi version is even much better! It also gives room to hervoersoective by the backround singers and the newly inserted guitar.

This song was played in an episode of Tatort crime serie. It about a pimp, whose singing about one of his girls.
This was quit chocking when it gone on the air
Oh mei... ich bin verblüfft. Falco lacht im Himmel!! 😢🎉❤
Loved this reaction 😍 How refreshing to view this modern standpoint from the standpoint of a german woman who was experiencing this slightly disturbing but masterful piece of music in the 80s 😉
Falco,this is the beginning of the 80 ties.
the F is a homage to the movie M from 1931, Jeanny (song) - Wikipedia, was looking up the actual song, wanted to see this. liked and subbed, hello from Cobourg Ontario Canada
Thanks for the sub and I am really glad that you enjoyed the reaction.
all songs from my childhood
The song "Jeanny" by Falco was extremely controversial due to its controversial themes and lyrics. Here are some of the reasons why the song caused a stir:
Sexual violence and criminality: the lyrics of the song deal with topics such as sexual violence and criminality. Falco sings about the kidnapping and imprisonment of a woman named Jeanny. These topics are extremely sensitive and disturbing to many people.
Ambiguity of the lyrics: The lyrics of the song are intentionally vague and leave many questions unanswered, such as whether Jeanny is with the narrator willingly or against her will. This ambiguity led to different interpretations of the song.
Publication controversy: "Jeanny" was indexed in Germany, meaning that it was not made available to young people under 18. This led to further discussions about freedom of expression and censorship.
Public outrage and discussions: The song provoked heated public discussions in several countries, especially in Germany and Austria. Some people felt the song was morally questionable, while others argued that art should have the freedom to address controversial issues.
As a result, "Jeanny" became one of Falco's most controversial and well-known songs, and it polarized the public. Despite the controversies, the song was commercially successful and reached high chart positions.
Falco stylistic device has always been to write more clear lyrics so that people discuss and question some things about themselves and in society. The Commissar, Jeanny, Rock me amdeus or Mama the man with the coke is there. In Germany, coke has several meanings. Once it is coke umd cocaine but also a product of coal which is used for heating. This coke was usually delivered by men and poured into the cellar or carried. Therefore, for example, in the song you can either think of a drug dealer or just a coal supplier.
Wikipedia excerpt
"Jeanny ist der Titel einer Serie von Liedern des österreichischen Sängers Falco, deren erster Teil einen der größten Skandale in der Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Popmusik auslöste.
Zu Lebzeiten des 1998 gestorbenen Sängers erschienen und freigegeben sind die drei Titel Jeanny (1985; ab 1986 als Jeanny (Part 1) bezeichnet), Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2, ein Jahr danach, 1986) und Bar Minor 7/11 (Jeanny Dry) (1990). Ohne Freigabe durch Falco erschienen postum die Versionen Where Are You Now? (Jeanny Part III) (2000) und The Spirit Never Dies (Jeanny Final) (2009)."
One part was also banned at that time and many radio stations boycotted the song and did not play it.
This video was barred on MTV in the US, but it is one of my favorites. No one listens to this! Thank you!
You're welcome James!
A song to just sit back, be horrified and admire Falcos cudos for writing and performing this.
There is much german music so underated! Please listen peter fox! I am not german but a neighbour.
memoriessss ! love this song !
He is singing about a predator act and mind, also in europe on news there were lost and missing girls around
She is there in his mind tho she is dead
Coming Home is the part 2 of Jeanny Trilogy and Where Are You Now is the final chapter...you love it..
The story is deliberately open to interpretation. One interpretation is that the protagonist is a kidnapper, another interpretation is that Jeanny was his girlfriend who drove him mad. Maybe Jeanny and everything is just the interpretation of a mad man. And there are many more other interpretations between ...
I will never ever get sick of this song😍. Even know all the words to the newsflash part, and German really isn't my best language😁... I love it. Somebody has probably already mentioned it in the comments, but this song is not really about him, but about girls being abducted in general... I mean, I think🙄... slightly creepy nonetheless... but so good! Your reaction is so great🤣... keep 'em coming!
Ich bin 1974 geboren und habe die "Neue Deutsche Welle" erlebt. FALCO (ein Österrreicher) war dabei. Ständig im Radio und überall. Lustig `n Ami zu sehen wie er das hört. hahahahahahahahahaaaaaahahahaaaa xD DO NENA NEXT!!!!! NENA IS SUPER GERMAN!
Ohhh, I hadn't heard this song till I was 18 years old, almost same age as Jeanny... I loved this song but for sure as I didn't speak very good english and german, i haven"t understood this song...
So thank you for this video and explanations :)
Jeanny 💔💔
The "F" on Falco's trenchcoat in the video refers to the 1931 German film M by Fritz Lang in which a blind man marks the murderer with a chalk sign in the same way. (Wikipedia)
Thank you for that.
This song is written by the Dutch brothers Bolland & Bolland.
Ferdi & Rob.
A german/Austrian masterpiece 🤘🏻 Jeannnny
there is part 2, called Coming home,
Rock Me Amadeus
This song scared the shit out of me when I was a teenie, lol
Child's voice: Bump bump, rider (Can also be translated as "up and down, rider" - in German "hoppe hoppe, reiter").
Tiel: A melody in wind.
Child: My heart no longer beats.
Tiel: And the child sings from the dirt/earth.
Child's voice: Bump bump, rider
Tiel: And no angel descends down.
Child: My heart no longer beats.
Tiel: Only the rain cries on the grave.

Rammstein - Spieluhr (Play Hour - Creepiest song ever, prettymuch).
Just one more thing, this is a good thing to keep in mind in general, in life: when you see the colors RED and BLACK and only these 2 colors, RUN tf away. You want nothing to do with those ppl.
Producer from the netherlands .scary song .but briljant voice and charisma face.
My first LP that I bought in the 80s was from this band. Maybe you like to react to a dutch group the Time bandits (Endless Road ).
Ray send it to me and I will get it on the list. Just keep in my list is long and you will need to be patient. But I can promise that I will get to it and you will have a reaction. Here is the best way to send it to me bit.ly/RequestHXC
I truly appreciate you.
This is the first of a serie of five songs
I know your video is old, but the F on his coat is a reference to „M - a town is looking for a murderer“ a legendary movie by Fritz Lang from 1931
Nice Reaktion
This song caused the single biggest scandal in German music history. Some radio stations refused to play it, but it became a huge hit, anyway. The news anchorman you saw was an actual anchorman at the time on the most important news show on German TV and that, I think, made the whole story too real for some people. A lot of Germans weren't ready for it, but I liked it then and it's still something I like to listen to today. Part 2 (Coming home) was a great song as well. There were more parts, some even without Falco, but they are not worth listing to.
By the way, the girl who played Jeanny was just 15 at the time.
My mom didn't want us watching this video clip. She didn't really want to explain why. So...that started me thinking about it and what was so wrong with it. Before her reaction I was just fine with it.
She is there in the Call with him, because this are his mad visions he has there.
R.I.P Falco ♥️♥️😥
So in real live Falco whas i little bit koekoek 2 😖😖😵😵. Hahaa greets jacco
