Hi Jen,

It's "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco. I swiped the lyrics (both German &
English) from Ron Parodi's excellent "Early '80's Song of The Week" page
at http://www.sirius.com/~parodi/. Enjoy.

See ya!

Rock Me Amadeus
(Rob Ballard, Ferdi Ballard, Falco)

Original German/English version

Ooo rock me Amadeus
Rock me Amadeus...
Rock rock rock rock me Amadeus
Rock me all the time to the top

Er war ein Punker
Und er lebte in der großen Stadt
Es war Wien, war Vienna
Wo er alles tat
Er hatte Schulden denn er trank
Doch ihn liebten alle Frauen
Und jede rief:
Come on and rock me Amadeus

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus

Er war Superstar
Er war populär
Er war so exaltiert
Because er hatte Flair
Er war ein Virtuose
War ein Rockidol
Und alles rief:
Come on and rock me Amadeus

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus

Come on and rock me Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus

Es war um 1780
Und es war in Wien
No plastic money anymore
Die Banken gegen ihn
Woher die Schulden kamen
War wohl jedermann bekannt
Er war ein Mann der Frauen
Frauen liebten seinen Punk

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus

Come and rock me Amadeus....

Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Ja ja ja
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus...

The Solieri Version (US radio/album)

Ooh, Rock me Amadeus!
Ooh, Rock me Amadeus!
Ooh!

Pa-pa-pa-pa-punker, rock me!
Punker, punker, rock me!
Pa-pa-pa-pa-punker, rock me!
Punker, punker, rock me!

Su-su-su-su-superstar, superstar... rock me!
Su-su-su-su-superstar, superstar

P-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p... Premier

The song was performed by Falco, a german/austrian? artist. I don't have
the lyrics, but perhaps you can try it in the archive of www.leo.org
