I'm listening and looking at the comments. It was the 80s and he's Austrian just like Mozart. Austrian's speak German. Some of it is in English. It cracks me up when youngsters think they know when color video came out. Color video was out in the 30s kids. For instance the Wizard of Oz came out in the 1939 and the bulk of it is in color. Yes the majority of films were in black and white until the late 50s and 60s.

Falco's music is an integral part of Austrian culture and it will never be forgotten. He sang many songs in both German and English and was the only Austrian to reach number 1 on the Billboard with a song in German (Rock me Amadeus). Thank you for your great reaction.

The lead singer was Austrian, born in Vienna. AMADEUS who the song refers to was a world famous classical musician Wolfgang AMADEUS Mozart. A lot of the song is sung in German which is the main language in Austria. Falco said that he learned his English through watching films, television and music videos. Falco real name Johann Holzel sadly died in a horrific road accident back in the Nineties.

The only other two artists who had major success from Germany in the U.S.A. back in the 1980s were the Scorpions- who sang in English and the German-French duo of Milli Vanilli, towards the latter part of the 1980s. Other artists with mild success were: Kraftwerk, Alphaville and Boney M.

The reason you are hearing a lot of English words is because English is a West Germanic language. Although it is sprinkled with lots of French, Norse, Latin and more, the base language is German. When you see written German it's quite obvious, but the spoken word can be a little harder to recognise. This song was in German with the chorus being the very English expression, "Rock Me" Amadeus. Also, how can you get to your age and not have heard of Mozart. I like this video because you two are so fresh and raw. I actually find it funny the way you pronounced Amadeus and a few other things. Subbed just on this video alone.

This is a concert performance by the three artists noted above, at the Liebenau (pronounced Lee-Ben-Ow) Music Festival, in the city of Graz (pronounced Grotz); Graz is co-incidentally the hometown where Arnold Schwarzenegger was born and raised. This "Live Concert" version, of "Rock Me Amadeus", is MUCH, MUCH BETTER than the "Official" Studio recording, and music video (with tuxedos, and wigs); and the same is taking into account that the "Official" Studio Recording and Music Video are each already quite EXCELLENT !!!!!:):):):):)
