   Now that’s something I never expected to see: A Canadian pressing of Falco’s 1982 album “Einzelhaft”. I always assumed the original version of Der Kommissar wasn’t a big hit in North America. Naturally I had to buy it, especially for the title track, which is one hell of a bop.

     @thomasfuchs Oh this reminds me… when I was studying German, many years ago, our teacher told us to pick a German song to try transcribing as a form of immersion, and I naively picked Der Commissar. When I told the teacher I couldn't understand a word in any of the verses he was like: "but of course, he's *rapping*, in * Österreichisch*. Not even I can understand it" (he was German).
