Falco was a role played by Johann Hölzel it was meant to be arrogant but Johann Hölzel was actually a "normal" guy. Sadly he had a big problems in his last years because his success dropped so that he didnt published his latest songs which were actually pretty good but were released after his deadly car accident. Out of the Dark is actually my favorit song from him sadly it was released 3 weeks after his death and not in his lifetime.
Such a scandalous song back in the days. Serious theme Falco did there (with kidnapping/abuse) and the news person on tv was an actual news person from german television back then.
It brings back good memories of the 80s 🙂 Fun Fact: Only Falco managed that: At the end of March 1986, "Rock Me Amadeus" shot to the top of the U.S. charts - as the first and to this day only German-language song.
@@michelelaraia7358 That song had an English version, 99 red balloons. That's part of the reason why it was so successful. You can't really compare it to Rock Me Amadeus, since that one never got an English version afaik.
Do you know where to find the version with subtitles? I actually wanted to recommend this to some other people that don't speak german, but couldn't find the version with subtitles, or at least not the music video with english subtitles.
especially to understand the story but people shouldnt think that was himself talking but Falco was an act and the song is more like a criticizing story than anything other
hi from germany.falco was my favorit singer when i was young. On February 6, 1998, just before his 41st birthday, Falco died in a car accident on the road between Villa Montellano and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. As he was leaving the parking lot of a discotheque, a bus rammed his SUV; he died instantly.
The scene in the sewerage (2:15 - 3:25) was insired by the famous austrian Movie "Der dritte Mann" from 1949. It was filmed at the same locations in Vienna.
And the part where he walks around with an F on his shoulder is a nod to the film "M-eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder" .There they mark a child murderer with an M in that way.
Still giving me goosebumps. A song depicting the POV of a sexual predator who kidnapped and abused a 19-year old woman - what a statement to be done in the 80s. Falco was a musical genius who left us way too far.
Die Öffentlichkeit war sehr aufgebracht. Radiosender boycottierten Falco. Der (reale) Nachrichtensprecher wurde beurlaubt. Dann erst brachte Falco Teil 2 raus und relativierte Teil 1 inhaltlich, nur um die Wogen wieder zu glätten.
@@darkiee69 'part 2' was not part of this song. It was made much later as an attempt to repair the outcry of criticism the song earned as far as I know.
@@skeltek7487 It's literally called Coming home (One year later) and it IS part 2 of what was always ment to be a trilogy. Unfortunately Falco died before part 3 was finished so his producer took what was recorded and mixed it in to Jeanny part 3 "Where are you now?"
In my childhood Jeanny by Falco was one of my favorite songs. Thanks Wolf HunterZ for the reaction. There is also a good cover version of Jeanny by AXEL ONE. I wish us all only the best.
One of the Greatest Artists ever came from Austria.....R.I.P Johann „Hans“ Hölzel ,you died much too soon :( .....such a SAD Trilogy (!) Song about Murder for Love.....and what a SCANDAL back in the 80'ties.The Video and Song was FORBIDDEN in TV and Radiostations.....
Hello Guys, after some time! Thank you so much, that you still published it (only the birthday does not fit for today). Also thanks, that you put the translation in. It was great and I hope that several will have a look at it. Thanks and have a nice weekend Suzy and Travis. ❤️
shocked the times in the 80's....woke everyone up.... the first song about abuse, prostitution and all that goes with it.... superbly performed by Falco....what an artist (unlike those high note wankers today..)
Falco was a very intelligent artist with an amazing aura. We visited his concerts at the end of the 80's and beginning from the 90's. Everything was very professional, his team and the background singers were amazing. His lifestyle kills him and maybe his depressions. It's a big sadness for the music world. I will say thank you for listening to Falcos Jeanny. What is the reason to decide to listen his song ? I want to ask you, can you imagine to write a song with the background to Jeanny or would you cover this song with your own flavour ? It would be nice, i'm sure
I love this song, long time I listened to it. he was a genius with music and a great voice ! He had a deadly car accident in the Dominican Republic if i’am remembering it correctly. Nice reaction ‼️
Just in case its not known. That song was for some years on the index in some European Countries and wasn’t played on air. The newsflash in the video is telling that the police is searching a 19 years old girl last time seen 3 days before. She might be a victim in a criminal case.These in relation to the lyrics and the video gave speculation that the song is about kidnapping or sexual abuse. The song itself is a great piece of pop music
Sorry for being so late to this reaction but Falco, an Austrian singer was huge in the late 80's early 90's made this song as a way of describing his inner termoil, if you follow his songs from early to the later stuff you will notice that his material got darker and darker, he started to worry about his mental state, which led to his fatal accident, he rode his motorbike as fast as it would go and crashed into a car instantly killing him. Now it was claimed it was an accident but many of us who were deep fans of Falco at the time were convinced that he commited suicide. His death was a huge loss to music as if you look back through his songs he was a music genius. Loved your reactions to a great performance by a Legend.
Falco is a legend for me. more cocaine than human but an absolute genius. also this one was very controversial back in the 80s cause the song is about an abused girl that lived the life on the streets and was brutally sexually abused and killed.
It's a very good old music. One of my favorite songs from the 80's (although I discovered it more in the 90's). It's about a kidnapping and a murder. The narrator seems to have fantasies about an illusory love. You get the name of the woman. I hope you will find translation of the german part. I'm glad you reacted at this song. It was a nice reaction.
You really need to understand the lyrics here. There are some English lyrics/subtitled versions out there. This is a masterpiece of audio and video art. It maintains one of my favorite songs for all my life and I remember it all my life long, because I am only slightly older as it. They part where he shouts: "niemand wird dich finden, du bist bei mir" (nobody's gonna find you, you are with me) kills me everytime. Falco was such a great musician but a complicated character. He still remains an Austrian Icon and will never be forgotten. Which he also once sang: "Muss ich denn sterben, um zu leben? - Do I need to die, to live?
This song was banned from all TV stations and radio stations in Germany. But we teenagers listened to it on pirate radio stations. Same with Michael Jackson`s "Thriller" and Jane Birkin's and Serge Gainsbourg's "Je t'aime ... moi non plus". 😁
The three titles Jeanny (1985; referred to as Jeanny (Part 1) from 1986), Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2, ein Jahr danach) and Bar Minor 7/11 (Jeanny Dry ) (1990). The Where Are You Now? versions were published posthumously without Falco's approval. (Jeanny Part III) (2000) and The Spirit Never Dies (Jeanny Final) (2009)
Passion in his voice. Yes, it just seems quite melodic to someone who doesn't understand, what this song is all about. And believe me, in this context Passion is here quite the wrong term. Beste Grüße aus good old Germany
"Jetzt hör' ich sie, sie kommen Sie kommen dich zu holen Sie werden dich nicht finden Niemand wird dich finden, du bist bei mir" I'm hearing them, they are coming They are coming to get you They won't find you Nobody will find you, you are with me"
@The Wolf HunterZ Falco's best known song here is probably hands down "Rock Me Amadeus". It was top of the charts for a good while when it broke out of Austria onto a world stage. And it spawned multiple club mixes and a longer "salieri" mix. If he'd been handled better when he came to America to perform, I think he'd have been a household name in music. A good piece I'd highly Recommend is "The Sound of Music". It's not Rogers and Hammerstein. If you don't react to it, I'd recommend it highly personally if you like this. The guy is legend in Europe. When alive he was a Paul McCartney style hamm but had an Elvis sized fear that he was a fake. Very interesting character and an amazing music catalogue. He wrote the oritinal version of "Der Kommisar" which charted over here sang by After the Fire. Cheers!!!
One of the biggest hits of Germany as i remembered. its always a bit a shame that the german part isn't translated into lyrics with subtitles, as you would understand this story way better. It has so much story in it.
The song was banned in Germany at that time because of the controversy that it was about a murder and was no longer allowed to be played on the radio, but I still had the song as one of his greatest hits and unfortunately died very early.
In one shot you can see the singer walking with the back to us having a F written on his coat. Tha right there is a reference to the German classic movie "M". One of the very first non-Silent-Movies in that time. It is about a predator who kidnaps and kills young girls. A beggar witnessed an abduction and paintd an M on that mans coat so he will be captured and brought to trial.
"great acting too" - because Falco wasnt really a musician, but an artist. not him "singing nice" but the lyrics, flow, vision and emotions made him a big star in germany.
I remember that I really liked this song when I was a kid. It was haunting. Funny how you are jamming to the song :,D It's about a guy who stalked, abducted and ab*sed a girl (maybe even worse). Actually, really messed up. I was a strange kid. xD

Servus Falco, R. I. P.
Exactly he got a lot of critic for that video cause his acting was just on point.
An master on his own art.
Damn bro..
Falco isn't gone. Hansi and Falco just became one with all the memories of their fans.
Falco was a difficult character but a great artist. His death is a real loss. Thx for reacting and appreciating!

Danke! Auf Wien! The greatest Singer of a lost time... Thanks for watching this epic song!
Wow, thanks for this video!!! Falco died in 1998 when I was 16 years old. I still love his music today!!!
For me as an Austrian i have to say it is good! And the topic of this song is still actuall! And i have to say this guy had a bundle of good songs!
"Der Kommissar" by Falco was a BIG EUROPEAN HIT.
oui ma préférée et je l'écoutais en boucle et dans les discothèques on dansais sur ce tube iconic rip trop jeune pour mourir dramatique
This song was no1 in the charts in Holland for weeks. Such a wicked beautiful creepy song.

I remember this as a kid. Still gives me goosebumps ❤
I Had forgotten about this song. It's from his "Falco 3" album which I bought when it came out. Man, that was a long time ago.
It's great hearing this song again.
R.I.P. Falco.. GOAT!
even today this song rocks
Please do more falco. He was a Superstar in europe and even the usa. Number 1 in the usa. With Rock me Amadeus. He died too young for sure.

"Jetzt hör' ich sie, sie kommen
Sie kommen dich zu holen
Sie werden dich nicht finden
Niemand wird dich finden, du bist bei mir"
I'm hearing them, they are coming
They are coming to get you
They won't find you
Nobody will find you, you are with me"
Yes, you get it! Falco was a troubled soul and a great artist, using a sort of German rap to great effect. Passionate!
This sond is only worth half as much when you don't get the lyrics. It's disturbing and captivating and horrifying and good. It's just art.

In one shot you can see the singer walking with the back to us having a F written on his coat. Tha right there is a reference to the German classic movie "M". One of the very first non-Silent-Movies in that time. It is about a predator who kidnaps and kills young girls. A beggar witnessed an abduction and paintd an M on that mans coat so he will be captured and brought to trial.
