Pop Hits from the 80s

They just refuse to die. Every popular song from the 80s worms it's way onto some mix album or, often worse, is covered. In the real world, it can be quite hard to escape them so why should Musicbanter be any different?

Present here one song and write a bit about it. The only requirement is - it has to have been a hit in the 80s.

I'll go first with Falco's classic "Der Kommisar". Except Hitler, Falco is the only famous austrian person in modern history. The song that catapulted him to international stardom was this amazingly catchy tune which I think is about drug dealers .. or something. Since it has rapping in it, I guess you could say Falco is also Austria's original gangsta and indeed, Bloodhound Gang paid tribute to the dead legend in their song Mope .. Not that I like it, but it's trivia.

Falco tragically died in a car accident in 1998, may he rest in peace.

Alles klar herr Kommisar!
