He had several international hits: " Der Kommissar (song)|Der Kommissar ", " Rock Me Amadeus ", "Vienna Calling", " Jeanny ", "The Sound of Musik", "Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2)" and posthumously, "Out of the Dark". He is the first and only artist to date whose principal language was German to score a number-one hit in the United States with "Rock Me Amadeus". His estate claims he has sold 40 million albums and 20 million singles to date, which makes him the best selling Austrian singer of all time.

Early years


Falco began to show signs of unusual musical talent very early. As a toddler , he was able to keep time with the drumbeat in songs he heard on the radio. He was given a baby grand piano for his fourth birthday; a year later, his birthday gift was a record player which he used to play music by Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, and the Beatles. At age five, he auditioned for the Vienna Music Academy, where it was confirmed that he had Absolute Pitch|perfect pitch .

In 1963, Hölzel began his schooling at a Roman Catholic private school; four years later, at age ten, he switched to the Rainer Gymnasium in Vienna. Shortly thereafter his father Alois Hölzel left the family. From then on, Hölzel was raised by his mother and grandmother and remained very close to them all his life.

He left school at sixteen in 1973 due to absenteeism. His mother then insisted he begin an apprenticeship with the Austrian employee pension insurance institute, but this only lasted a short time. At seventeen, he volunteered for eight months of military service with the Austrian army.

He entered the Vienna Music Conservatory in 1977, but left after one semester to "become a real musician". For a short time, he lived in West Berlin while singing in a jazz-rock band and exploring the club scene. When he returned to Vienna he was calling himself "Falco", reportedly in tribute to the East Germany|East German ski jumper Falko Weißpflog (he changed one letter to make the name more international), and playing in the Austrian bands Spinning Wheel and Hallucination Company.The preceding four paragraphs include translated material from the German version of this article.

En route to becoming an international rock star in his own right, he was bass guitar|bass player in the Austrian hard rock - punk rock band Stefan Weber (musician)|Drahdiwaberl (from 1978 until 1983). With Drahdiwaberl he wrote and performed the song "Ganz Wien" ("All Vienna"), which he would also include on his debut solo album, Einzelhaft ( Solitary Confinement ). He also played bass with the space disco band Ganymed (band)|Ganymed in 1981.

Individual success


Falco's first hit was " Der Kommissar (song)|Der Kommissar " ("The Commissioner") from the 1982 album Einzelhaft . A German language song about recreational drugs|drug consumption that combines rap verses with a sung chorus, Falco's record was a number-one success in many countries but failed to break big in the US. The song, however, would prove to have a life of its own in two English-language versions. British Rock music|rock band After the Fire recorded an English Der Kommissar (song)#Cover versions and tributes|cover version , loosely based on Falco's lyrics and also called "Der Kommissar" (with "uh-oh" and "alles klar Herr Kommissar" the only other lyrics held over from the original). This time, the song shot to number five in the United States (their only major hit there) in 1983, though it failed to crack the UK Top 40. That same year, American singer Laura Branigan recorded a version of the song with new English lyrics under the title "Deep In The Dark" on her album Branigan 2 .

After a second album, Junge Roemer ( Young Romans ) failed to provide a repeat to his debut single's success (outside of Austria and Germany , where the album topped the charts), Falco began to experiment with English lyrics in an effort to broaden his appeal, and chose a new production team. The result would be the most popular album and single of his career.

Falco recorded " Rock Me Amadeus " inspired in part by the Academy Awards|Oscar -winning film Amadeus (film)|Amadeus , and the song became a worldwide hit in 1986. This time, his record reached #1 in the US and UK, bringing him the success that had eluded him in that major market a few years earlier. The song remained in the top spot of the Billboard (magazine)|Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and his album, Falco 3 , fittingly peaked at the number three position on the Billboard album charts. The Austrian singers climbed to the upper reaches of the Billboard Top R& B Singles Chart (once called the "Black Singles" chart), peaking at number 6, becoming the first major hit by a white artist since Blondie's chart-topping "Rapture" six years earlier. Falco 3 peaked at number 18 on the Top R& B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Ultimately, "Rock Me Amadeus" went to the #1 spot in over a dozen countries including Japan . Follow-up single "Vienna Calling" was another international pop hit, peaking at #18 of the Billboard Charts and #17 on the US Cash Box Charts in 1986. A double A-side 12" single featuring remixes of those two hits peaked at #4 on the US Dance/Disco charts.

" Jeanny ", the third release from the album Falco 3 , brought the performer back to the top of the charts across Europe. Highly controversial when it was released in Germany and the Netherlands , the story of "Jeanny" was told from the point of view of a rapist and possible murderer. Several DJs and radio stations refused to play the ballad, which was ignored in the US, though it became a huge hit in many European countries, and inspired two sequels on later albums.

In 1986, the album Emotional (Falco album)|Emotional was released, produced by Rob and Ferdi Bolland ( Bolland & Bolland ). Songs on the album included "Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2)," "The Kiss of Kathleen Turner ", and "Kamikaze Capa" which was written as a tribute to the late photojournalist Robert Capa . "The Sound of Musik" was another international success, and a Top 20 US dance hit, though it failed to make the US pop charts.

In 1987 he went on "Emotional" world tour ending in Japan. In the same year he sang a duet with Brigitte Nielsen , "Body Next to Body"; the single was a Top 10 hit in the Germanic languages|Germanic countries. The album Wiener Blut (album)|Wiener Blut ( Viennese Blood ) was released in 1988 but it did not get much publicity outside Germany and Austria.

In 1990, he wrote a song about Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz , "Tanja P. not Cindy C.", which appeared on the album Data de Groove .

After 1986 there were a number of European hits, but Falco was rarely heard in the US and the UK. His 1992 comeback attempt, the album Nachtflug ( Night Flight ) including the song "Titanic", was successful in the German speaking territories, but failed to chart internationally.

Death



Falco died of severe injuries received from a collision with a bus in his Mitsubishi Pajero|Mitsubishi Montero on the road linking the towns of Villa Montellano and Puerto Plata , in the Dominican Republic on 6 February 1998, just two weeks before his 41st birthday. It was initially reported that the autopsy showed high blood levels of alcohol and cocaine, however this was later dismissed. At the time of his death, he was planning a comeback. He was buried in the Zentralfriedhof (Central Cemetery) in Vienna, Austria. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi? page=gr& GRid=3156 Findagrave.com - Falco

Tributes and popular culture


In the album Hooray for Boobies of the group The Bloodhound Gang , the song " Mope " is a tribute to Falco, and he is referred to as a "money making player that ain't with us no more" and a "gang banging thug that never seen it coming."

In 1998, Bolland & Bolland|Rob and Ferdi Bolland (Dutch producers and co-writers of about half of Falco's albums) released the EP Tribute to Falco under the name The Bolland Project feat. Alida. The title track featured samples of Falco's music; the other tracks were "We Say Goodbye" and "So Lonely".

The film :de:Falco – Verdammt, wir leben noch!|Falco – Verdammt, wir leben noch! was released in Austria on 7 February 2008, ten years and one day after Falco's death. This title is also the name of Verdammt wir leben noch|a posthumously-released album by Falco which translates to "Damn, we're still alive!" Written and directed by Thomas Roth, the movie features musician Manuel Rubey as adult Johann 'Falco' Hölzel. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0915457/ Falco – Verdammt, wir leben noch& #33; IMDb Page The end credits include the line "With love, Ferdi & Rob", his frequent collaborators the Bollands.

Falco's good friend Niki Lauda named one of the Boeing airplanes in his Lauda Air fleet "Falco" after the singer. http://www.laudaair.com/site/index.php? id=105& L=1 Lauda Air – Our Fleet

Although " Der Kommissar (song)|Der Kommissar " saw nearly contemporaneous and fairly straightforward mainstream covers including the loose translation by After The Fire and the reinterpretation by Laura Branigan , both in 1982/1983, Falco's song " Rock Me Amadeus " has received a more enduring, if humorous, usage several decades after its release, in a number of films, television shows and commercials. The 2009 film Adventureland (film)|Adventureland features "Rock Me Amadeus" multiple times as part of an amusement park's background music, to the eventual disdain of its denizens. The original track is featured in humorous situations in commercials for the Subaru Impreza sedan and E-Trade financial services (2008). The track has been sampled by groups including the Bloodhound Gang , who also refer to Falco, in their 1999 song " Mope ", and by German rapper Fler in "NDW 2005" from Neue Deutsche Welle (album)|Neue Deutsche Welle . In 2004, Mexican rock band Molotov (band)|Molotov released a tribute in their comedy style, called "Amateur (Rock Me Amadeus)".

More frequently "Rock Me Amadeus" has been interpolated for comedic effect. In 1986, "Weird Al" Yankovic parodied the song in his song "Polka Party". In The Simpsons episode " A Fish Called Selma " (1996), an offbeat variation is featured in a musical presentation of Planet of the Apes (1968 film)|Planet of the Apes with the repeated tag of "Amadeus, Amadeus" transferred to " Dr. Zaius , Dr. Zaius". A similar usage appears in another satirical US cartoon series, Family Guy (season 4 Petarded|episode 6 , 2005). The Daily Show with Jon Stewart featured a parody, "Iraq Me Dave Petraeus", as a musical intro to a briefly recurring segment involving the US General's doctrine regarding the war in 2007/2008. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-february-10-2009/intro---iraq-me-dave-petraeus The Daily Show: Iraq Me Dave Petraeus

In 1985 a parody version of " Rock Me Amadeus " entitled, "Rock Me Jerry Lewis" was credited to LaTour|Bud Latour and fellow Phoenix, Arizona disc jockey, Mike Elliott (disc jockey)|Mike Elliott . To the dedicated parody community, LaTour is mostly only known as 'Bud' LaTour. "Rock Me Jerry Lewis" climbed to Number 1 on The Dr. Dememto's Funny Five chart and grew to a notoriety that prompted mentions and airplay on Casey Kasem|Casey Kasem's Top 40 Radio Show as well as a call from Jerry Lewis himself. Furthermore, Jerry Lewis would begin to use the song at his personal appearances and stage shows. While in Phoenix, Arizona for a muscular dystrophy benefit at a bowling alley, Jerry Lewis invited 'Bud' LaTour and Mike Elliott to bowl with him. He was kind enough to sign 500 copies of the "Rock Me Jerry Lewis" 7" record.

A later episode of The Simpsons , " Behind the Laughter ", features Willie Nelson saying, "Thank you, Taco (musician)|Taco , for that loving tribute to Falco," within another fictional tribute. Falco has been referenced in the US satirical cartoon series American Dad and The Tick (live action TV series)|The Tick . In an episode of Family Guy entitled " German Guy ", Falco's song " Der Kommisar " was used when Franz Gutentag made a Chris look-alike puppet and it sang and danced to the song. Chris later states "that was the German-est thing I've ever seen", however Falco was Austrian.
