Following a popular movie about the Viennese composer, the Americanized version of "Rock Me Amadeus" was an instant hit in the US. Written in English, it is a brief chronology of Mozart's life in a rap-meets-classical style. The non-US version of the Falco3 album as well as the video feature actual lyrics written in German which portray Mozart as both popular and radical. "Vienna Calling" followed and entered the top 40 but with all-German lyrics did not find such favor with the American crowd. A third single, a power balled called "Jeanny", proved a controversial hit in Europe and was banned by some radio programers there. The album also included a reworked German-language version of The Cars song "Lookin' for Love", entitled "Munich Girls", as well as a rather absurd rendition of Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue".
