Anyone else feel a strangely profound sense of gratitude for being a teen/young adult in the 80? God knows I do (I'm 54), and the nostalgia is so painful at times... Little did we know how crappy it would all turn, and perhaps how little we appreciated what we had.

[@JF-xq6fr]

@@saulramirez6117 Hi Saul. I wish I could take you back... The feeling of unbridled freedom was so much greater, and it felt more live and let live. Life now is a chaotic mess, filled with so much hate and anger, surveillance, tons of sour people, and so many who are cruel simply because they enjoy it, and nothing is done. Sure, violent crime stats were a LOT HIGHER then, and nuclear destruction at a moment's notice hung over all of us, but we as a nation were more cohesive, more relaxed, not so faux fancy, tougher, and more on a common path to help each other. It feels like another, lousy world today in the US, and I can't tell one year since around 2008 from any other since.

[@JF-xq6fr]

@@debralol8447 I'm glad Debra, nice to read of others who are on the same (sane) page. If not for my 26 y/o child, I really don't feel much need to continue on as it is. Not depressed - Simply so weary of being who I am, in this mess of a nation that I do not fit in at all anymore. I feel so sorry that we have to exist in such a crappy country, and not from the lack of us trying to make it better.

The original version was recorded in German by the Austrian singer Falco, who had a #1 hit in the US in 1986 with "Rock Me Amadeus." His version of "Der Kommissar" was a dance-floor favorite in Europe, but unlikely to crack the American charts, so Falco encouraged English-speaking bands to record this song so he could make inroads in the States. After The Fire was a British foursome whose most notable member was former Yes synth-man Peter Banks. They released three fairly successful albums in England before their label, CBS Records, issued the Der Kommissar album in America. The title track became the group's only hit - their follow up was a song called "Dancing in the Shadows," which topped out at #85 in the US.

I've only just come across this song I absolutely love it 😍

[@johnsantiago4099]

Great song and video. She's a beauty alright. It never gets old.

[@dominicsandoval52]

MTV memories from the 80's brought me here.

[@AutanCalifornia]

Love 80’s .. there is nothing to compare. Great hit 👍🏻😊

[@daviddemaria3982]

What a great tune. This and the original, love it.

[@thegreyman4920]

Thank you Falco, and this is the version we grew up with here in the US!

[@tylercarta433]

Good song here! The 1980s was definitely a good time period for music.

[@itxofficial8281]

Guys, just calm down already. Don't think of it as an insult, rather consider it as a tribute to Falco's song. The beat is nearly identical and the lyrical translation is almost 100% accurate. America loved the song and wanted to make a version everybody could understand. That's how much of an influence in pop music Falco had back then!!

[@RickVaughn]

ATF were from England, not America.

[@itxofficial8281]

Oh, you're right!! I don't know why America came to my mind, sorry for that :)

[@bearwarner4994]

Plus, during the 80's, this version got more radio play in the states, because it was all in English. Falco's was better, but this one was a fixture of that time frame.

[@krlm2280]

But Falco didn't authorize them to use this the record label did and he was upset about it that's why the record industry is Crooks

This song had a regular rotation on MTV back in the 80's. Loved watching it stoned I would just trip out on all the videos.

[@fnrsknmer]

I'm 45 and I've just heard this version for the first time in my life. Growing up in the communist Czechoslovakia was not easy, but in the south we could catch Austrian TV and that meant, among other things, Falco.

[@frenchgemini6686]

i love how the opening vocals of this song are spoken word kind of like RAP music, random access poetry to a rhythm

[@QueenetBowie]

If you really want a treat, watch the original German version by Falco

[@smithel3538]

Falco is the best!!!

[@danieldelzell4556]

I was an exchange student in Denmark when this was a hit. Always amazed me when I came home how many German songs were hits - loved the 80’s!!!

[@4700_Dk]

Loved the 80’s especially in Hawaii where I grew up.

[@aqdrobert]

Makes me glad we have this technology so we can still HEAR the 1980's!

A fast 40 years. Still love this one.

another classic 80's tune. Love it!

[@stephent2521]

Hi Lisa…. Your comment is well recommended. How are you doing?

[@timewarped2the80s]

The good old days! I love that hissing sound at the end of the video must be off the original VHS tape from MTV.

[@maneshlingam2785]

[@leotherocker94]

Such a catchy chorus in both versions! I love it!

[@johngolofit1208]

From the Spring of 1983. Classic time of MTV videos. True statement in this song: “the more you live, the faster you will die”...

[@dlper8970]

You hit it on the barrel head.

By far, the best Decade!!

[@debsmith2347]

Indeed!!

[@W4RD1N8ER]

I am listening to this and I have a full studio down stairs in my basement collecting dust! The keyboard in this gets me going! Giving me some idea’s I wanna pump out some 80’s inspired tunes. This is the first time I have heard this song in the last 25 years was like the first time again.

[@CA2AL]

THIS needs to be remastered. It certainly deserves it!

[@DerekBox]

I've had the phrase "The more you live the faster you will die" on my checks since 1990.
