today is my birthday...and, serendipitously, this particular presentation of Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" was shown on the TBS late night music video program NIGHT TRACK as part of its 6th birthday spectacular.
happy birthday to us!!!
Music video
The song's music video mixed elements of Mozart's time with modern times; early on, Falco is shown in a modern dinner jacket walking past people in eighteenth-century formal wear. Later, he is shown dressed as Mozart, with wild colored hair, being held on the shoulders of men dressed in modern motorcycle-riding gear. At the end, the two crowds mix together.
Selected non-racist/sexist youtube comments (birthday edition):
ReplyDelete"Kinda makes ya wonder what Falco was thinking when he came up with the concept of this video.....I mean, let's face it, it is a rather odd video, combining people in Renaisance costumes & Bikers.........Quite strange, right??"

"actually thats how people use to dress in the 17th centuary (1800-1900) witch wasent Renaisance thats more middel ages"

"Well, what i meant was it's not so much the the clothing that those extras who were supposed to be Mozart's time wore, but more the comination of Modern Day Bikers & people dressed in 17th Century period costume sharing screen time"

"It might be because Martin is a huge fan of W.A.Mozart.
In Fact Coldplay plays its music as mozart did."
