Falco, was an Austrian pop and rock musician and rapper. He had several international hits: "Der Kommissar", Rock Me Amadeus, Vienna Calling, Jeanny, The Sound of Musik, 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 one of the best selling Austrian singers ever

Falco never recorded this in English. This is a cover by the British band After The Fire.

@TheWitchOvAgnesi Wow, sorry I stand corrected, it was a different band that did the English version. I can't seem to remember some of the 80's, to much partying I guess. Thanks TheWitchOvAgnesi.

@Turdbuckethat Only if you're German...this version actually rocks a lot better.

[goldendice100]

"Falco began his solo career in 1982 with the LP Einzelhaft; his "Der Kommissar," which fused techno-pop with rapped German lyrics, became a major European hit and a club favorite in the U.S., with a cover version by the group After the Fire reaching the Top Five in 1983."

Off the Falco page on AllMusic.

I was there, but I didn't know this was a cover at the time.
