You know you wouldn't think it, but foreign metal bands are freaking awesome.... And I am not just talking about Rammstein... Although they are pretty awesome as well!

No, in this case I headed in to the world of foreign music when I was a kid, even before I listened to Rammstein or any of the German heavy metal bands that are here today, when I was down in Arizona one day and you would never believe it, but as it turned out a Spanish rap song came on! Now I will admit that the song was absolutely one of the most hilarious songs that I ever heard at that time... (I am sorry, but it is true...)

But besides the fact that, that song truly was absolutely hilarious, it was also a lot of fun! I mean I couldn't understand a word that they were saying, but the way the song was put together was done so well that in the end, it was even fun to listen to it even if you didn't know what the hell they were saying!

And you know what? The song that German Industrial Metal band, 'Megahertz' did back in 1998 as a sort of  tribute to the 1980s musician, 'Falco' called, 'Rock Me Amadeus' is no different!

Now to give you a little bit of background on the, 'Falco' version of this song...

In all truth, this song is fairly outdated, (considering the fact that this song is almost 30 years old is not completely surprising...) But it does have that sort of fun campy appeal to it, and this song would catapult, 'Falco' to becoming the first German singer to have a number 1 single in the United States!

Now as for the Megahertz version of this song... They created a sort of hardcore industrial metal version of this song as part of the cover for his 1998 Album, 'Kopfschuss'... An album which would later be re-released in 2005, taking out the handgun that the clown face is supposed to be holding!
