Falco – Der Kommissar

The song “Der Kommissar”  was originally written and recorded by Roger Ponger and Falco in Austria in 1981. A year later, British rock band After The Fire recorded an English language version, while American pop singer Laura Branigan completely reworked the lyrics, ditching the original storyline about drugs and turning it into “Deep In The Dark.”

“Der Kommissar” / “Helden von heute” is a double-A-side single released in Austria and Germany in December 1981. “Der Kommissar” reached the top of the charts in many countries. The song recorded for other side of the record, the pop-rock “Helden von heute” (“heroes of today”), is a tribute to David Bowie’s “Heroes”. It was recorded in Berlin, Germany; Falco claimed in an interview that he went to Berlin to follow the “tracks” left there by David Bowie, with his albums “Heroes” and “Low.”
