Jeanny

I found the version of an old song that was famous in the 1980s a few days ago while I surfed the Internet. Jeanny is a song by an Austrian musician called Falco (more of him on the next edition by the Foreign Correspondent). The video and the song was banned on German airplays because in the song a pedophile describes his feeling about the fact  how he brings a girl under age in his power and kills her. This version from the Swiss band Dub Spencer and Trance Hill is that kind of superb, that I nearly can't describe. A steady flowing groove with very fine dubs that can blow your mind.

Enjoy

Alles klar Herr Kommissar?

Today it is 15 years ago Falco died on a accident in the Domenican Republic. He was an Austrian singer and very famous in Germany in the early 80's. His song 'Der Kommissar' was covered by After the Fire and also very successfully. He combined in this times Rap, Funk and Soul with his cool and provoking lyrics. This song was nearly banned in German radio stations, because of the lyrics in witch he talks about a pedestrian kidnapping a young girl, raping and killing her. Very weird and still a highlight in German popular music.
