| 1 | * AmericansHateTingle: To an extent. In Germany and Austria, Falco is a beloved figure regarded as one of the best popular musicians of his time. In the anglosphere, meanwhile, he's a OneHitWonder known only for "Rock Me Amadeus" and nothing else; the only other song of his to be widely known among English speakers, "Der Kommissar", is known for its [[CoveredUp English-language cover]] by After the Fire, rather than the original version by Falco himself. |
| 2 | * CoveredUp: How many of you knew that "Der Kommissar" was ''not'' originally by After The Fire? |
| 3 | * HarsherInHindsight: The lines in "Der Kommissar" about doing cocaine and going out to party sound a lot less fun after Falco himself developed a cocaine addiction shortly before his death. |
| 4 | * SignatureSong: "Rock Me Amadeus." |
| 5 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The near-identical choruses of "Der Kommissar" and Rick James' "Super Freak" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP_c9DYzqHU have been noted]] (though Falco's song came first). |
| 6 | * SpecialEffectFailure: The green screen in the video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w4Xulsjo5I "Der Kommissar"]] has reached minor memetic status for how badly it's aged. |
| 7 | * TearJerker: "Out of the Dark", released after Falco's death. Sad music and lyrics (which contains verse "Muss ich denn sterben, um zu leben?"[[note]] Must I die in order to live? [[/note]]) combined with [[https://youtu.be/cyrdPtEHKzE Finally Dead Montage music video]] are really heartwrenching. |
