I assume, xhuxk, you know about this thing. Saw it many years ago, still surprised they did an English dub for it:

Not the dub, sadly.

Falco sang in a Viennese dialect that's incomprehensible to a lot of, maybe even most, Germans. He also came out of the vibrant Austropop (that phrase, which is now used as a marketing gag for any music of Austrian origin, used to mean a very specific sing-songwriter rock scene, sung in dialect) scene as a bassist with the Hallucination Company, and most of his songs (including Der Komissar) were about the Viennese drug scene. Vienna's about 6 hours by car to the nearest German city that's even one third as big as it is. Some suburb.

I mean it's legit to talk about Falco as part of a brief flare-up of receptivity to German-language pop in the 80s, but he had nothing to do with the so-called Neue Deutsche Welle -- which was a fake construct of the record companies, anyway (I'd refer people to Jürgen Teipel's book Verschwende deine Jugend, but it will never be available in English, which is a shame.)

And his producers were Dutch.
