It was actually clever marketing at the time!<br /><br />Falco was an under-appreciated genius and Jeanny was an underappreciated song! It was actually a 4-part single release over several years, telling the story of Jeanny, who was apparently kidnapped or murdered. Each version was a completely different song based on the same melody!<br /><br />GREAT STUFF-= Martin L.

The next album, Emotional, was really their (and his) masterpiece. Not a bad track on that one. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20137589385150290.post-44871638561370504562016-10-16T19:28:44.878-07:002016-10-16T19:28:44.878-07:00I was a HUGE Falco fan back in the day.

His original version of that is SO MUCH BETTER than the bit hit that After the Fire had with it. Well, his IS the original!<br /><br />I don't understand a single word of that album, but I still love it. And it's so sad that he died young, especially as he was working on new music and was expected to have a big comeback. angstytimelordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404827655161390988noreply@blogger.com
