Rock Me Amadeus

25 years ago today an Austrian Disco star had the #1 hit in America, singing a song about another Austrian composer that had been dead 200 years. I suspect this situation will never ever repeat itself...



Ironically, like the subject of his most famous song, Falco died at a very age. He was only 40 when he died in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Like his idol he is buried in Vienna.
