#NowPlaying "Rock Me Amadeus", climbing to #3 this week in 1986 and on its way to #1 for Falco. The song also topped the chart in the US where it was the first German language single to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. #OffTheChart #MadWaspRadio offthechart.show/13-april-198… pic.twitter.com/YJLE0owawl
