And now, the song that inspired the classic number Dr. Zaius from Planet of the Apes: The Musical, here's Rock Me Amadeus.

Listening to some of those follow up songs, I actually think this guy missed his true calling as a songwriter. Translate them completely to English and give them to other bands and I think they could've been good sized hits. I can easily see "Jeanny" being rocked out by an 80's arena rock band. But as is I can't see him appealing outside of the Germany/Austria sphere of influence.

I haven't watched the video so maybe they acknowledge it but didn't he have another hit with Vienna Calling?

This is a patreon request he forgot to do... for the past 2 years apparently. Also, finally some Alternative German Rock Bands on OHW! (let's wait to see who gets the reference) |

Yeah, he's considered a demigod by many over here, and quite honestly he has a whole bunch of annoyingly catchy songs. But I have to agree, I never could see him catch on outside of central Europe as a performer. Maybe as a songwriter though.
