Saudades de Falco...
Falco - Der Kommissar
Two, three, four
Eins, zwei, drei
Na, es is nix dabei
Na, wenn ich euch erzähl' die G'schicht'
Nichts desto trotz,
Ich bin es schon gewohnt
Im TV-Funk da läuft es nicht. -
Ja, sie war jung,
Das Herz so rein und weiß
Und jede Nacht hat ihren Preis,
Sie sagt: "Sugar Sweet,
Ya got me rappin' to the heat!"
Ich verstehe, sie ist heiß,
Sie sagt: "Baby, you know,
I miss my funky friends,"
Sie meint Jack und Joe und Jill.
Mein Funkverständnis,
Ja, das reicht zur Not,
Ich überreiss', was sie jetzt will. -*
Ich überleg' bei mir,
Ihr' Nas'n spricht dafür,
Währenddessen ich noch rauch',
Die Special Places sind ihr wohlbekannt,
Ich mein', sie fährt ja U-Bahn auch.
Dort singen's:
"Drah di ned um, oh oh oh - schau, schau,
der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Er wird di anschau'n
und du weißt warum.
Die Lebenslust bringt di um."
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
Hey man, wanna buy some stuff, man?
Did you ever rap that thing Jack?
So rap it to the beat!
Wir treffen Jill and Joe
Und dessen Bruder Hip
Und auch den Rest der coolen Gang
Sie rappen hin, sie rappen her
Dazwischen kratzen's ab die Wänd'. -
Dieser Fall ist klar,
Lieber Herr Kommissar,
Auch wenn sie and'rer Meinung sind:
Den Schnee auf dem wir alle
Talwärts fahr'n,
Kennt heute jedes Kind.
Jetzt das Kinderlied:
"Drah di ned um, oh oh oh - schau, schau,
der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh oh
Er hat die Kraft und wir san klan und dumm,
dieser Frust macht uns Stumm."
"Drah di ned um, oh oh oh - schau, schau,
der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh oh
Wenn er di anspricht
und du waßt warum,
Sag ihm: 'Dein Leb'n bringt dich um.'"
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
Cha Cha Cha Cha ...
"Drah di ned um, oh oh oh - schau, schau,
der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
"Drah di ned um, oh oh oh - schau, schau,
der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Two, three, four,
one two three
Nothing about it,
if I tell you the story.
Anyhow,
I am used to
that it won't run at the TV.
Well she was young,
her heart true and white
And every night got to pay off
She says:" Sugar sweet,
ya got me rappin' to the heat:"
I understand! She 's hot.
She says:" Baby you know,
I miss my funky friends."
She means Jack and Joe and Jill
I think about what she wants right now
I think her nose talks about it
While I am smoking,
I mean the special places are well known to her
I mean, she goes by train ,too
They sing there:
Don't turn around, oh,oh,oh- watch it
the chief of police is going around! Oh, oh,oh
He will watch you
and you know why,
because your pleasure of life is going to kill you.
Everything allright, Sir?
Hey man, wanna buy some stuff, man?
Did you ever rap that thing Jack?
So rap it to the beat.
We meet Jill and Joe
and his brother Hip
And the rest of that cool gang.
They rap it back and forth.
Between that they scratch the walls.
This is a clear case,
My dear Sir,
even if you don't share that opinion:
Every kid knows nowadays
that snow on wich we ride downwards.
Don't turn around, oh,oh,oh, watch it
the chief of police is going around.
If he talks to you
and you know why
tell him,
your life is killing you.
Everything alright, Sir?
Cha Cha Cha Cha
Don't turn around, oh,oh,oh, watch it
the chief of police is going around.
Don't turn around, oh,oh,oh, watch it
the chief of police is going around.
Falco morreu há vinte e cinco anos...

Wendy James, a vocalista dos Transvision Vamp, faz hoje 57 anos
When the decision had been made for Transvision Vamp to split, James wrote to Elvis Costello asking for his guidance. In response Costello, collaborating with his then wife Cait O'Riordan on some songs, wrote a full album's worth of material for James. These songs made up the tracks on her 1993 solo album Now Ain't the Time for Your Tears. Produced by Chris Kimsey, it reached No. 43 in the UK Albums Chart in March 1993. However the album failed to sell in significant numbers, and James "dropped from the music scene". She signed to One Little Indian and began work on an album entitled Lies in Chinatown, which was not completed.
James formed a band named Racine in 2004. The group released two albums, Number One and Racine 2.
Racine broke up in December 2008, prior to shutting down their official website. The members of the band went on to join other bands and none of them worked on James' next album.
James announced on her MySpace blog that she had been working on an album entitled I Came Here to Blow Minds, which was recorded in Paris in 2009 and mixed in Australia later that year.[11] Finally, a release date of 19 October 2010 (for digital release) was posted on James' official Facebook page in August 2010. One track from the album had already been made available for download on RCRD LBL. since May 2009.
James released an album, The Price of the Ticket on 19 February 2016.
In October 2019, James was touring as "The Wendy James Band" in support of the Psychedelic Furs, promoting a new album, Queen High Straight.

Dizem que hoje é o Dia Nacional da Áustria...
Vienna - Ultravox
We walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on the window pain
Lying waiting
A man in the dark in the picture frame
So mystic and soulful.
A voice reaching out and a piercing cry
It stays with you until
The feeling is gone
only you and I
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna
The music is weaving
Haunting notes pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings a cold empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
The image is gone
only you and I
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna
