Greatest Falco Song: Der Kommissar

Postby waldnorm » Wed Nov 15, 2006 12:10 pm

In the spirit of the Greatest Blondie Song game, let's have a little contrast and dive a bit into what at least many call the "cheese," here and treat the same for Falco (I'd pick Kajagoogoo or Toto Coleo, but with only one album underneath the name, the choices are limited . . . )

Each select the Falco song they like the least, so we end up with the ultimate, most awesome Falco song. :)

1. Der Kommisar
2. Rock Me Amadeus (German version)
3. Rock Me Amadeus (U.S. version)
4. Macho Macho
5. Jeanny
6. The Kiss of Kathleen Turner
7. Vienna Calling
8. Push!Push!
9. Emotional
10. Wiener Blut

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Auf Der Flucht.

Okay, this is probably more imperfect than Blondie's (in terms of remembering classic songs, etc.)--I'll try to do better, next time. But since the game's started, those songs get honorary mentions aside the "best," if that's the case.

Meanwhile . . .

I don't feel very emotional about "Emotional"

OK, I'll do it. Goodbye Jeanny. Der Kommissar wins it.
