Hey Gang,

The 80's pop world was knocked back a bit 16 years ago as Falco was killed in a traffic accident in the Dominican Republic.  

Of course Falco, real name Johann (Hans) Hölzel, was most famous for his 1986 hit "Rock Me Amadeus", but my personal favorite was his 1982 hit "Der Kommissar".  It was an early song that added a rap in the middle.  Something about a foreign language "rap" that was appealing to me at age 15. The British rock band After the Fire recorded a cover version you might have heard of.
