Jeanny

i love this song

A quick translation for people who don't undestand german:

Jeanny, come, come on Get up - please, you're getting all wet It's late, come - we must get out of here, out of the forest, you know? Where is your shoe, you lost it, when I had to show you the way. Who has lost? You you? I me? Or, we us?

It's cold, we've got to get out of here, come Your lipstick is smeared You bought it and I saw it Too much red on your lips and you said: "Leave me alone" But I saw though you, Eyes say more than words You need me, don't you, hmh? Everyone knows we're together from now on, now I hear them! They're comming They're comming to take you They won't find you Nobody will find, you with me

Newsflash: In the past few months the number of missing persons has gone up dramatically. The latest report from the local police tells us about another tragic case. It involves a 19 year old girl, last seen two weeks ago. The police does not rule out the possibility of foul play.

Creepy Falco, great song :)

i love this song! all the engergy in it... 6th of feb.... 8 years since his death.

meaning:

as creppy as it sounds, is about something you so dearly want and cannot attain. you want it to be yours, and yours only. "They're comming to take you" so he abducts her. to live with him forever. "Nobody will find you, youre with me" i dont get it if he just kidnaps her and they move away or if he actually kills her so they are joined in death. "Everyone knows we're together from now on," hmmm..

You gotta love it! {{ his music lives to the day }}

Falco was one of a kind.. Struggling his life, and finding his dreams has been crushed and the hell he suffered by the industry.. Jeanny pt1 & pt 2 Was a simple love song - the image you see are reflections of cruel reality.. but it's no more than a search to find the girl of his dreams.. but reality gets in the way... (if you hear jeanny part 3 it's not official so don't think of it as a real faclo song !!!)

Wow! This song is so beautiful. I'm so in love with it.

I think it tells the story of a man who is in love with a young lady, in this situation we call him child molester, he made love to her and then killed her and since he is in a trauma, he yells out as if she was still alive and the others are coming to take her away from him, but in fact they come to take him.

Good song though!

Here's a silly party trick:

Let's say you meet someone whose English is so good that you can't tell where they're from. If they're old enough to remember 1986, just say one word: Falco. Most people will just say "the Amadeus guy?" But anyone from Austria or Germany will immediately begin loudly singing the chorus to "Jeanny". And now you can pretend that you recognized their accent, and can tell that their native language is German.

This song is not about Jeanny, this song is about the guy who adores her, loves her, wants her and kidnaps her.

He's stalking her (Du hasst ihn gekauft und ich habe es gesehen / You bought it and I saw it) He's totally freaked about everything she does and gets mesmerized by her. The lines "Quit livin on dreams" and "Life is not what it seems" suggest that he will protect her against the "cold, cold world". The paradox is that she needs to be protected against the Psyco guy himself. He wants her but obviously can’t get her (there's someone who needs you). The song ends (the clip) where he is detained in a Psycological department which tells us that he's the real Psycho here. But, "Jeanny" is there as well and is teasing him (kiss on the cheek with her red lips) and appearing in normal clothes as in a "wedding" dress as well. Probably this is all happening in his mind and part of the Jeanny obsession. The story continues in "Coming home (Jeanny part II) which is not that great as the Jeanny part I song. Anyway, "Jeanny" is an absolute classic from the eighties written by Bolland & Bolland, sang by Falco. Simply brilliant!
