❤Today we remember Falco, (Hans Hölzel), who was born on this day in 1957. He scored a 1986 UK and US No.1 with the single Rock Me Amadeus Rest in heavenly peace Falco amen.
The motorcycle gang in the video is a genuine one from back in the days, they aren't actors. When Falco died 1998, they had the honour to carry his coffin. Greetings from Vienna
@@beaniessumners276 You're a clever, beanie. Except that "Amadeus" is a Latin name meaning "love of God" or "one who loves God". Whereas "Asmodeus" is mythological and has like a dozen different spellings - none of which are "Amadeus". They are, if you can read, completely different words. So I guess you can safely go back to listening. Dolt.
Just to give you an idea of Falco's standing in Europe, there was a stage musical a couple years back that was about Falco and Freddie Mercury. Scenes alternated between both artists' rise, triumph, and untimely deaths. Dude's a hall of famer.
FR T-Rexx it all started with jazz~✨. falco influenced modern pop music as much as much as any other #1 hit, and i’m sure rappers have sampled this song
@@rt0035The hairstyle, suits, dresses. And also the fact that the song is using some rock beats and electric guitar as a tribute to the master of classical music... Ain't that punk?
FR T-Rexx I appreciate the sentiment, but I feel like punk has a pretty strictly defined sound that this doesn’t share. You can still be punk in your asthmatic, though, sure. And for the record, I’m no punk purist. Just saying 😎
I am 64, do not understand, read nor write German BUT....I know a great artist when i hear and see one. FALCO was a musical genius and had he lived longer truly would have had the impact the same impact on music as Mozart had.
What are you talking about? He reached his popularity peak and aknowledged he would not be able to top his success and rise any higher than he already did, before he just went off to basically rip his career. He reached the peak and insanely famous for what he achieved and he was so wealthy and popular that he grew a fame paranoia. And all that while some of his songs were more or less only coverversions of already existing songs. He def. received the attention, fame and financial reward he earned. At his funeral were 4000 people. Wouldnt call that a lack of respect.
Back when this song was popular, a radio station in Louisville Kentucky was changing its call letters. I believe it was from WKJJ to WDJX. The DJ at the time disagreed and locked himself in the booth. He managed to play this song at least 37 times in a row before they could unlock the booth and take over. That was nearly 40 years ago and a wonderful memory from my childhood.
best example that a great beat and melody are enough to make a great song,even people that could not understand a single word of german rocked to this song
I think that is something general that you notice about music. First and foremost there must be a good beat, rhythm, and sound, past that the words, or meanings are less important. Even if you do not know German, all Falco's songs are better in German, than in English. Also all Nena's songs including 99 Luftballons. The original German version is tops. Don't listen to the English version. Also, the Peter Schilling "Major Tom" is better in German, because that was the original and it sounds better, whether or not you can understand it.
Falco simply was a music genius. As an Austrian I'm proud that one of my people has achieved something, no other German language singer has. To reach #1 in the US billboard charts with this legendary song called "Rock Me Amadeus".
@@InternetMameluq he's long dead, of a car crash in the Dominican Republic, likely under the influence of alcohol and cocaine, both of which were problems for him. February 6, 1998
Just got back from Vienna. The musical "Rock Me Amadeus" was playing in the theater, and I happened to watch it for amusement. Endrd up watching the musical on every night during the course of my stay. Now, I am literally obsessed. Can't get this song out of my head. On the last day of my stay, I went to Falco's grave to pay my respect. He truly is a legend !
I'm on vacation in Vienna and this song is stuck in my head. I went to the Schönbrunn Palace yesterday and just found out that where we had dinner last night was where Falco used to live. Now it will NEVER get out of my head.
I’m pretty sure no one cares but, my mom used to have this on a record and I called them big cds, anyway I forgot about this song for such a long time and I could never sing the lyrics I’m jus now finding out it’s in German. Now that my mom passed and how much she played this song, it makes me very happy to find this again!
I care about your mum passing because my mom passed also. they in heaven dancing to *rock me, Amadeus* my mum loved this song too reminded her of rapping 🧡 rest in peace to your mama and mine
Falco was a genius. He was way ahead of his time , and because of that often misunderstood ,even in his own country . He then was already bigger than life and not to many at the time realized it. RIP ,Falco and thank you for leaving us your music to remember you by.
not for all guys! Not for Falco, that is still a great fake also his accident and it's a pitty, that s still working on. I have known Hans and it was so others like some media wrote and some people,he never know said.Who steal s his life and his mother s life??? You guys have no clue what happened to Falco. There is a great great crack in the hole story. Bad luck to his murderer and thieves.Never forget til they are all in prison or hell.
I remember this song in 1986, I believe it became number 1, in US & some other countries. Couldn't get enough of this song. Still like it after 35 plus years. RIP Falco. You are reunited ( maybe) with your twin siblings.
My brothers heart stopped to be adding for over a minute after he overdosed on heroin years later he was finally willing to talk about what he saw what he was dead and guess what he said nothing! Black no memory of the incident he described it as a falling asleep
This August I was in Vienna for the weekend. By chance not far from Beethoven Platz I found Falco’s bar and restaurant. It is filled wall to wall with memorabilia of him. Also the food there is good as well.
Falco - a phenomenon singer! Too little recognition and media coverage in pop culture. He deserved much, much more! Great respect, master! Rest in peace!
Hopping down from the carriage (in perfect unison with the cymbal crash), buttoning the top button of his tuxedo jacket, and them warming his hands before starting the rap = straight fire.
My mom used to blast this in the truck when she'd pick me up from school, 11 year old me was terribly embarrassed. 20 year old me admires my mom for the dedication.
I'm probably just about the same age as your mom. This song was a MONSTER jam back in the day. One of the first to draw upon elements of rock, pop, and rap... and all as an ode to classical! It made people who would never normally get along with each other feel like they were all in unity, just for a minute. Seriously, everyone loved it. It.was.everything.
Deine Musik und deine Sicht der Wahrheit hab ich umgebracht. Für mich ist es immer noch echt. Ruhe in Frieden. Schall und Rauchh Ruhe in Frieden Schall mit nd Rauch.
The world's first rock star, what a great way to celebrate him. I am sure he would've appreciated it, even though it would be foreign to him even if it was in his language. Still a great tribute. The way he was buried didn't give him the dignity he deserved. RIP hero of music Amadeus Mozart.
@@ebrk7 yeah im sure they would be soooo pleased having their masterpiece that they spent weeks, months and years creating being used to advertise some neon coloured chemical soap.
He was a punk and lived in the big city It was in Vienna, in Vienna, where he did everything He had debts because he drank, but women all loved him anyway And everybody screamed: "Come and rock me Amadeus!" He was a superstar, he was popular He was exalted, because he had flair He was a virtuoso, he was a rock idol And everybody screamed: "Come and rock me Amadeus!" [Hook] Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus - oh, oh, oh - Amadeus Come and rock me Amadeus! Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus - oh, oh, oh - Amadeus [Part 2] It was around 1780 and it was in Vienna No plastic money any more, the banks were against him Everyone knew where the debts came from He was a ladies' man, women loved his punk He was a superstar, he was popular He was too exalted, and that was his flair He was a virtuoso, he was a rock idol And everybody's still screaming: "Come and rock me Amadeus!"
I always liked the biker dude with the spiked gauntlet 😂 Let’s keep in mind that Falco was the first European to ‘rap’ a major hit. Pretty groundbreaking for his time
@@CelticSaint yes... Falco was a very troubled person; he regularly tried to escape from alcohol and drugs but only managed to escape at times; he was in exile in the Dominican Republic, but still in great personal difficulty; he killed himself when he left a car park in a blind spot, literally hitting into a very speeding bus. He was under the influence of alcohol and drugs. His friend, the former racing driver Niki Lauda, had his body flown back to Vienna with one of his airline planes. His grave is the most visited in Vienna's central cemetery.
О, этого не может быть Фалько, я его тысячу лет не слышал. А тут и вот он. Красивый исполнитель и это у него не отнять, молодец я балдею от него как он поёт, это просто не подрожаемо. Его ни с кем не спутаеш. Он такой единственный и не повторимый. Как я рад снова его слышать, это похоже на сказку. Спасибо всем и всех благ и здоровья.
eine sache, die ich bis heute an falco so faszinierend finde, ist dass fast kein anderer deutsch sprachiger künstler groß in der welt rauskommt, außer er macht englische musik. falco hat durch seinen mix aus deutsch & englisch & diese Fusionierung von pop, rock & rap unglaubliches erreicht. falco rules.
@@FuckDaGovernment Hells Angels exist since 1948 in the US, since 1970 in Swiss, since 1973 in Germany and since 1975 in Austria. @Earn Money , but in the Video are no Hells Angels... Members of the Austrian Motorcycle Club "Outsider" did carry his coffin.
Es ist irgendwie ironisch wie er über Amadeus hier singt, er war ein Superstar und Idol ein musikalisches Genie und doch war sein Leben tragisch und ist jung von uns gegangen. Beide Mozart und Falco.
@@AdeamosCaar I don't know about that, it's said that he was very popular but we weren't there to see it, but now after many many years after his death he is
@@AdeamosCaar well, part of that statement is true. Mozart was loved during the first years he lived in Vienna. Trouble was, he was one of the first composers who chose to live on commissions he earned from what we now call free lance work. Most composers til then tried to have a steady job as a kapellmeister in the service of a rich patron. So when in his last two years his music began to fall out of favor with the public, his income dwindled that fast that he could only be buried in a paupers' mass grave at his death (main thing why we still don't know where his remains are).
How good was this song? Every station, every club, everywhere you went, they played it. It was a favorite by any music loving group, whether you enjoyed disco, new wave, rock or anything in between, everyone just danced and enjoyed Falco. We loved it on the MTV as video and the music, the sound in any language we heard it in. So good, so uplifting and so catchy. Great sound is timeless and ageless.

Released in 1985, it’s now 2024 and it’s still a great song.
✊ rock me
I remembered that song back in the day
I’m here in July 2024 and still loving it!
Love it❤
For some strange reason, I thought it came out in '88.
My german teacher loaded this tune and we watched this in class, the most awsome class ever

Working in radio at the time, in Miami, when this tune came out..played non stop on the airwaves..!

Was it this version of the song or just a version without vocals that was played on the radio in the USA?
Did you understand the text?
@@tassilo6354 I can definitely say that at least in Canada it was this version. I'd imagine it was the same for the US. I had this on tape back then.

My mom used to blast this in the truck when she'd pick me up from school, 11 year old me was terribly embarrassed. 20 year old me admires my mom for the dedication.
Wish my ma did that.
I'm 13 and this is honestly a jam, Not trying to insult,you were a dumb 11 year old
Your mom is a legend!
I'm probably just about the same age as your mom. This song was a MONSTER jam back in the day. One of the first to draw upon elements of rock, pop, and rap... and all as an ode to classical! It made people who would never normally get along with each other feel like they were all in unity, just for a minute. Seriously, everyone loved it. It.was.everything.
Happy Birthday, Falco

Such a shame to die so young 😗

The world's first rock star, what a great way to celebrate him. I am sure he would've appreciated it, even though it would be foreign to him even if it was in his language. Still a great tribute. The way he was buried didn't give him the dignity he deserved. RIP hero of music Amadeus Mozart.

Falco's music never dies...!!! - Falcos Musik ist unsterblich...!!!👍
0:39 to 1:13 is the best introduction in 80s music video history. The hand motions/gestures Falco-isms are inimitable.
He was a punk and lived in the big city
It was in Vienna, in Vienna, where he did everything
He had debts because he drank, but women all loved him anyway
And everybody screamed: "Come and rock me Amadeus!"
He was a superstar, he was popular
He was exalted, because he had flair
He was a virtuoso, he was a rock idol
And everybody screamed: "Come and rock me Amadeus!"
[Hook]
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus - oh, oh, oh - Amadeus
Come and rock me Amadeus!
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus, Amadeus - oh, oh, oh - Amadeus
[Part 2]
It was around 1780 and it was in Vienna
No plastic money any more, the banks were against him
Everyone knew where the debts came from
He was a ladies' man, women loved his punk
He was a superstar, he was popular
He was too exalted, and that was his flair
He was a virtuoso, he was a rock idol
And everybody's still screaming: "Come and rock me Amadeus!"
Ty
Thank you
You're doing the Lord's work :-D
You win
Thx
R.I.P Falco. YOU are missed💙
hes dead ?
._. wtf?
Yes,guys.Falco dead in 1998
This video is made in 2003
He died? When? Wtf...
"I love you, Dr Zaius".
"What's wrong with me?"
"I think you're crazy"
"Want a second opinion!"
"You're also lazy!"
You finally made a monkey out of me.
From Chimp-an-A to Chimp-an-Z
Can i play the piano?
@trau guy?? i couldn't before!
I always liked the biker dude with the spiked gauntlet 😂
Let’s keep in mind that Falco was the first European to ‘rap’ a major hit. Pretty groundbreaking for his time
This song is proof that the only "language" that truly matters, and that everyone understands, is great fucking music!
Unfortunately, that's not true. Not everyone understands music.
Indeed!
@@richardsantanna5398 fair point, but at least it shows that sometimes the language of music can transcend other languages.
Math begs to differ...
Or just great music.
How is it I am only now realizing he was rapping in German?
I LOVED This song when it was new.
I love this song even it is not new.
It's Austrian Not german😂

Falco is literally one of a kind. There was and is no one else like him

Falco had serious style and was pretty underrated. It's a damn shame what happened to him.
What happened!
@@CelticSaint He died in a car crash back in 1998.
@@tylertheguy3160 Oh wow that's so sad to hear!
@@CelticSaint yes... Falco was a very troubled person; he regularly tried to escape from alcohol and drugs but only managed to escape at times; he was in exile in the Dominican Republic, but still in great personal difficulty; he killed himself when he left a car park in a blind spot, literally hitting into a very speeding bus. He was under the influence of alcohol and drugs. His friend, the former racing driver Niki Lauda, had his body flown back to Vienna with one of his airline planes. His grave is the most visited in Vienna's central cemetery.
@@francemary1863 So sad. I knew he died an untimely death, but this is so tragic. I loved Falco when I was younger, and still do, even to this day.
Somewhere in the universe hundreds of years from now someone will still be listening to Falco.
I am stilllistening
It's been 4 weeks.
Maybe I'll come back before I die!
Hopefully humans in Proxima Centauri B, someday...
Eu ouvirei. Saudações do Brasil.
I’m praying they think Mozart and Falco were the same guy 1000 years from now
Wish this guy was still around. Rest in peace, brother.

О, этого не может быть Фалько, я его тысячу лет не слышал. А тут и вот он. Красивый исполнитель и это у него не отнять, молодец я балдею от него как он поёт, это просто не подрожаемо. Его ни с кем не спутаеш. Он такой единственный и не повторимый. Как я рад снова его слышать, это похоже на сказку. Спасибо всем и всех благ и здоровья.
Falco always puts a smile on my face even in this Dark World we're living in.

Holy shit. How did I not realize that this song was in German? I just thought people sounded different in the 80's I guess lol.

Not only German, but Austrian German. Falco was an Austrian. And the song is about Mozart, who also was Austrian.

Sounds good to me
eine sache, die ich bis heute an falco so faszinierend finde, ist dass fast kein anderer deutsch sprachiger künstler groß in der welt rauskommt, außer er macht englische musik.
falco hat durch seinen mix aus deutsch & englisch & diese Fusionierung von pop, rock & rap unglaubliches erreicht.
falco rules.

Es ist irgendwie ironisch wie er über Amadeus hier singt, er war ein Superstar und Idol ein musikalisches Genie und doch war sein Leben tragisch und ist jung von uns gegangen. Beide Mozart und Falco.
During his life Mozart was not so popular. (Sorry for writing in english, I understand german but unfortunately I can't write ^^')
@@AdeamosCaar I don't know about that, it's said that he was very popular but we weren't there to see it, but now after many many years after his death he is
@@AdeamosCaar well, part of that statement is true. Mozart was loved during the first years he lived in Vienna. Trouble was, he was one of the first composers who chose to live on commissions he earned from what we now call free lance work. Most composers til then tried to have a steady job as a kapellmeister in the service of a rich patron. So when in his last two years his music began to fall out of favor with the public, his income dwindled that fast that he could only be buried in a paupers' mass grave at his death (main thing why we still don't know where his remains are).
Ich liebe Mozart omg

How good was this song? Every station, every club, everywhere you went, they played it. It was a favorite by any music loving group, whether you enjoyed disco, new wave, rock or anything in between, everyone just danced and enjoyed Falco. We loved it on the MTV as video and the music, the sound in any language we heard it in. So good, so uplifting and so catchy. Great sound is timeless and ageless.
And it's in fkin German !-)
Verdade!
This is rap lol funny how you didn’t even mention the actual genre it was
