Falco
Jeanny


Falco Jeanny, the third release from the album Falco 3, brought the performer back to the top of the charts across Europe.


The song is about a relationship between a man and a girl named Jeanny.

At the time, when it reached number one, critics said that the song glorifies rape.

German TV and radio personality Thomas Gottschalk made various negative remarks and called the song "rubbish".

An outcry in German language markets caused the song to be banned by some radio broadcasters or played with a preceding warning by others.

The scandal only helped to increase the sales of the single.

The song is sung in a slightly unhinged voice, but the lyrics don't actually contain any direct reference to the act of rape or abduction.

It is left to the listener's imagination. Falco argued that it's about the musings of a stalker.

The part of the Newsflash in Falco Jeanny is spoken by a German newsreader; The newsflash has obvious parallels to the case in the song, but doesn't explicitly mention the girl's name.

Falco Jeanny Lyrics

Jeanny, komm, come on
Steh auf - bitte, du wirst ganz naß
Schon spät, komm - wir müssen weg hier,
raus aus dem Wald, verstehst du nicht?
Wo ist dein Schuh, du hast ihn verloren,
als ich dir den Weg zeigen mußte
Wer hat verloren? Du dich?
Ich mich? Oder, oder wir uns?

Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
You're lost in the night, don't wanna struggle and fight
There's someone, who needs you, babe

Es ist kalt, wir müssen weg hier, komm
Dein Lippenstift ist erwischt
Du hast ihn gekauft und ich habe es gesehen
Zuviel rot auf deinen Lippen und du hast gesagt:
"Mach mich nicht an"
Aber du warst durchschaut, Augen sagen mehr als Worte
Du brauchst mich doch, hmh?
Alle wissen, daß wir zusammen sind ab heute,
jetzt hör ich sie! Sie kommen
Sie kommen, dich zu holen
Sie werden dich nicht finden
Niemand wird dich finden, du bist bei mir

Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
You're lost in the night, don't wanna struggle and fight
There's someone, who needs you

Newsflash: In den letzten Monaten
ist die Zahl der vermißten Personen
dramatisch angestiegen. Die jüngste
Veröffentlichung der lokalen
Polizeibehörde berichtet von einem
weiteren tragischen Fall. Es handelt
sich um ein neunzehnjähriges
Mädchen, das zuletzt vor vierzehn
Tagen gesehen wurde. Die Polizei
schließt die Möglichkeit nicht aus, daß
es sich hier um ein Verbrechen handelt.

Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
You're lost in the night, don't wanna struggle and fight
There's someone, who needs you
