Falco is at least as great as the Beatles
I've been to Germany a few times, and usually at some point I hear Falco playing on the normal, everyday radio. He's still popular there even today.
So this last time, I haven't heard of Falco yet, but we check in to a hotel, and the lobby looks like this:
Tributes to famous musicians.I'm thinking... hmmm...! Who's the guy on the left?
So I ask the hotel clerk (in English), and he says, "Oh, it's... a famous Austrian musician," as if I wouldn't know.
And I'm like, "That's Falco, isn't it."
He concedes, "Yes, it is Falco."
So once again, in Germany, Falco is placed on the same level as Michael Jackson and the Beatles.
It turns out these prints are used to decorate every single room and hallway in the hotel. Falco in every freakin' room, singing you to sleep. "Rock Me, Amadeus."
