The Falco thread got me thinking – does anyone know the German lyrics to “Rock Me Amadeus” and what they translate to in English?

How many versions of this song are out there? There’s the German radio edit (which I hear on the radio about 2-3 times a month), the more prevalent American radio edit, and at least two long remixed versions (on one of these, Falco reads off some biographical info on Mozart) – AND an instrumental version.

Are all those version on one album?

[This](http://rtf.kracked.com/amadeus.html) seems to be a pretty good translation.

Cool! I inspired a thread. Anyway, for the straight German lyrics, but no translation go to [http://www.bluestocking.org/falco/falco-falco3.html](http://www.bluestocking.org/falco/falco-falco3.html)
