Dick Clark Interviews Falco - American Bandstand 1986

[@DOOMGENERATION]

What's so cute about this is that Falco remembered and recalled this interview in an later German interview. He remembered it word by word, also how Dick Clark then said "you're philosopher!" and it brought him big joy and he loved looking back to it. I noticed he quite often remembered interviews and such, which proves that he never took anything of all that for granted. He was a great guy, sadly often misunderstood in Germany, and he's so terribly missed.

[@huraxdax_2467]

Do you happen to have a link to that german interview you were talking about?

[@herrendre682]

Link zum Interview bitte...

[@bloodtypedating]

Have you listened to his song "Amerika"?

[@bloodtypedating]

I used to like him.

[@patylandavr]

Yes. Sometimes germans are a little or too much "kleinkariert"

[@thebunk8588]

Falco was the swaggiest man to ever grace the planet

[@dansic3297]

is*

[@alanmydland5210]

he forgot to live his saying

[@bmw3842]

True ,But Robert Palmer is a close second .

[@missvida6251]

Don't forget Michael! Falco, Robert Palmer and Michael Jackson

[@fatbaby73]

Falco was Falco, plain and simple. That's why I liked him so much (and still do). He wasn't trying to be like anyone else out there at the time. He was an original and such a talent. I am American, and German is not my native tongue, even though I've picked up a lot from him. Some of my friends and family use to give me such a hard time for listening to something I didn't understand, and yeah I still don't understand it all. But I still love listening to him, English or German!!

[@fuzzmosisr8601]

Amen, you just don't see that kind of originality with new music anymore.

[@DanaErol.MitzAki]

Each of his smile is gorgeous. Every time I see him smiling in a video, I feel that is still with us, it's out there...

[@ms.tonia1362]

Omg that bright and beautiful smile! Just lit up the whole room! He was so handsome! Still a fan in 2018!! RIH

[@AnnaBanana03]

still a fan in 2021!!

[@phillygrl69]

ALWAYS & MISSING FALCO, OUR ❤ IS EVER MORE, IN 2024!

[@germen343]

I miss Falco.

[@MatthewCLewis]

Me too!

[@residentevil1.5nerd]

Its sad that falco passed away in 1998

[@flupachi4623]

what perfectly natural charm and personality, besides the excellent voice and look

[@marlatrujillo2510]

I love this interview. He’s just so adorable. I love you Falco and always will. Rip Handsome man ❤️

[@michaelvaughn8864]

He was quite an amazing and talented performer, Ms. Trujillo. Good looking guy, too👌 Shameful he passed on way too soon😒 R.I.P. Falco😇

[@cameronpickard7456]

his english is so impressive and clear,yet has just enough accent to be charming

[@dawndipierro373]

Falco’s smile makes my day. Died so young! 😭 #RIPFALCO

[@michaelvaughn8864]

Sorry...meant😟 Wrong emoji

[@NenaMataHari]

I've always loved his smile. Very handsome man. ;) And I had to memorize and sing a couple of this songs for misbehaving in German class. I still speak German.

[@TheMrDwillison]

Jesus what a remarkably handsome man.

[@erikswanson224]

Yes. He was very good looking.

[@michaelvaughn8864]

He certainly was a handsome charmer, Mr. Willison

[@LadyRocker4NR]

Two legends, both gone. What a loss!

[@mexikunt]

I love his mountain philosophy.

[@shadowmixx]

I vaguely remember this AB appearance. What I do remember though is taking a class and meeting a very fun and impressive 60-year-old woman in that class who told me she loved the song Der Kommissar by Falco just like I did. Needless to say, it strengthened our friendship, and she became one of my favorite people in the class. 😊

[@vidalV194]

Falco had the moves and personality to charm us all! A man with so much talent who left us too early in life. He will be greatly missed.

[@michaelvaughn8864]

No doubt👍 Good Lord rest Falco's soul😇 R.I.P.

[@marcuswellington5866]

I don't know how to speak his language but his music is pretty good

[@fatbaby73]

Two influential men of my childhood gone from us now. Both had such sad cruel fates, that they didn't deserve. Gone but they will never be forgotten. Thanks Falco and Dick for influencing my musical taste. May you both rest in the peace you both deserve.

[@saraheart2804]

He seems like he was such a humble man. RIP Falco.

[@DanaErol.MitzAki]

Yes, it's very funny. He had humor, was charming and full of life. He doesn't deserve such a cruel fate. He had to live, that still had many to ofer his fans worldwide. In my country it's a saying: "What is beautiful and good, God loves, too". So that God took him so early, because He liked Falco as much as we all liked.

[@blovedbrownsfan77]

A life ended far too soon. RIP, Falco.

[@Dianaking-e4v]

G-damn he was such a beautiful man with so much talent left to shine on us.

[@LeahElisheva]

His English was excellent truly. He’s a legend. Sorely missed 😢

[@schneisi]

Yes we Austrians can speak english, but Falco was almost perfect in accent :-)

[@cameronpickard7456]

yes his accent was very very good clear impressive

[@michaelvaughn8864]

Yes, his English was very impressive and well spoken, Mr. Siemssen

[@michaelvaughn8864]

He seemed like a very jovial guy, too. What a terrible shame he passed on far too soon🙁

[@surfboarding5058]

Better than Arnold for sure

[@gloriaelenahernandezzapata7744]

Nice smile Falco...!!

[@MontrealMan1970]

RIP I hope they are both chillin up there

[@MatthewCLewis]

MontrealMan1970 He's probably making more music up there.

[@ObsoleteGamercom]

Falco, a true legend

[@Izzyrocks4321]

Falco looks like a cute elf!

[@gloriaelenahernandezzapata7744]

ja ja ja for his earls

[@Canoneosmiami]

He spoke perfect English,without strong accent like Swartzeneger after living in USA even 50 yrs ..

[@Jgeneraledger23]

I think Arnold 'plays that up' a little, almost like a cartoon!

[@hansholzel9928]

I loooove when he speaks in english because I can understand him :D I LOVE FALCO

[@DanaErol.MitzAki]

You're right. I would say he has all the makings. I would even say he's perfect. Everyone can contradict me, for me it's the perfect man. ;) He will always have a special place in my heart. Fourteen years have passed since he left us, but still can not believe this. It's a shame that he has no a blood descendant to carry on his name and talent. God rest his soul in peace!

[@TheHDH83]

Falco was gorgeous all over, there wasn't a single detail about him that wasn't flawless.:) :)

[@Jgeneraledger23]

Falco had a great smile, could've easily been an Actor here in the States

[@8lifeisamovie8]

He's a bit like a cross between Charlie Sheen and Steven Seagal.😄

[@annettesonjajesse9733]

Big Fan of both of these guys. Thank you for the music. and God Bless.

[@Adri.Adrianna]

To speak and understand English so well that time was something UNIQUE ❣ He is so cool ,classy ,intelligent and modest at same time. The way he's trying to 'fix' his pockets cause of shyness

[@jkhanie4679]

Two classy people. Miss them both!

[@YourAscents]

His style was so fun.

[@marieloveandlight6037]

Falco Handsome 💕Beautiful Soul 💕RIP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Love💝And Light💖To All 💕 Reader’s , Stay Safe and. Healthy 💕⭐️💕⭐️💕⭐️

[@MJfan3012]

His english is really Good :D

[@maxmustermann5639]

Naomi It’s because he always talked german with an accent as if he was american. Even his german kinda sounded english to germans. There is german, austrian german, swizerdütsch (swiss german) and there is Falco german so to speak ;)

[@calinrang5939]

He s my youth of the 80s. RIP Herr Falco. You did great job for us.

[@rayva1]

He’s now in Heaven rockin’ with Amadeus. Definitely rockin’!

[@MJmysummerlove]

I feel the same way. He was unique and talented. I love his music, as well, eventhough I don't understand all of it.

[@fatbaby73]

Thanks for posting this. I love Falco too. I can remember seeing this on tv way back when, and this takes me back. There can never be enough Falco on KZbin! Especially him speaking English. Love it love it love it :)

[@Wesley_C]

RIP Falco Falco is a timeless singer, he is a very best. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@oliverhubler2693]

Falco! Eine Legende! :-)

[@Iuxinterior]

i love this man so much rest in peace hans

[@rendzi5]

He was such a charmer.

[@kennethzinke9168]

Dick Clark did interview Falco on American Bandstand in 1986, may they both rest in peace.

[@DavidTasche]

2 great people up in Heaven

[@hendersonkelly28]

I love 1:36-39. Promoting a guy called "Falco". You know him.

[@MJmysummerlove]

Falco was so breathtakingly handsome here, and classy as well :) .

[@DesertDriver100]

Thank you for sharing this video on Falco.

[@AussieTVMusic]

It was a great time the early 80s where an Austrian who sang songs in German could have hits all over the world. I never knew what the words meant but it didn't matter.

[@MJmysummerlove]

RIP to both Falco and Dick Clark.

[@hendersonkelly28]

I just love Falco. He is truly loved and missed. RIP Hans.

[@Sigujang]

Damn i must say he very humble guy down to earth, when clark asked him about the records down, and as soon falco answer that, i knew he is a humble gentleman

[@ricbowenjr]

Sehr koole typ damals! Falco war doch welt bekannt!

[@Skyler1163]

Thank you for the information, I appreciate it. :) And you are so lucky to live in Austria, I think it is the most beautiful of the European countries I've visited. And I always

[@khanoom1000]

And thank u so much for uploading this rare clip. U made me fall more and more in love with him

[@melonenbaum5895]

ich liebe seinen akzent😍

[@Chuloloc]

Awesome. RIP, Falco.

[@Amazuluforever]

Yes in austria we speak german, but with very different accent, but we sometimes mean something different if we smile to it, it reverses the meaning as well the the way we pronaunce it will many different things, simple only if yoe speak the austrian accent you will understand we egoist. But hoabts uns gern liebe leut

[@erikswanson224]

I once had a German native speaker tell me that Austrians sound like they're singing when they speak.

[@sage9836]

To see him really having fun at his finrst, look up his symphonic performance of Vienna Calling.

[@GisellaUnforgotten73]

Thank You, AwardShowNetwork! You made plenty of (us) Falco fans happy with this upload!

[@HamarMusic]

Falco Legend!

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

He reminds me of the bond villain in The Living Daylights.

[@wididididididi8693]

I respect and love him so much for being one of my influences and icons, but holy shit I simp for him ❤️❤️❤️

[@khanoom1000]

Gosssshhhhhh what a sexy man! He was a breath taker. His looks, his accent, his voice, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@RockandRollsince1992]

Even us Germans are still really proud of him, even he's from Austria.

[@macakucizmama831]

What’s the difference you are the same ethnicity? All Austrians were Germans before ww2. But yea he was a legend, but cocaine and alcohol destroyed him. Also I mind him because he took the daughter out of the testament, yes he found she is not his, but how someone you loved so much you can out of sudden see as a foreign

[@55555711]

cool guy

[@smithel3538]

I love his accent, I would’ve loved to see him as I’m a new Falco fan

[@marlonfranco7430]

Falco the best

[@DanaErol.MitzAki]

You made me cry... :(((((

[@MJmysummerlove]

@7carari I know it's hard to believe it's been 14 years already. Where has the time gone? I believe that he is in peace and is happy :) .

[@jediskunk67]

"Rock me Amadeus!"

[@gudulabialek6027]

Gut erklärt!! He was great!!!

[@MJmysummerlove]

Pause @1:23 and just look at that smile :). So gorgeous.

[@Canoneosmiami]

Perfect English,he spoke better the Arnold in USA after 50 yrs ..

[@TheHDH83]

Falco was the perfect man to me too.:)

[@hhbased]

He is like a better looking tom cruise 😄

[@manooch]

At the beginning of this video Dick Clark bows to Falco, I guess he is inspired by Falco's video of Amadeus where everybody bows to Falco!

[@wididididididi8693]

He learnt English practising pop music, and im learning German practising his pop music. ❤

[@gregh7042]

He is amazing...life ended. Too too soon...the Autobahn is incredible..but sometimes it does have a down side....God bless...

[@cindyspowart555]

But, he didn't die on the Autobahn. He died in The Dominican Republic where he was living at the time.

[@SephirohsReunion]

in austria we speak german. it's like you said just an accent like englands english vs american english.....but it also depends on where in austria you are...there are a lot of regions which have their own accent. but falco was from vienna and the speak a very pure, straight german there :)

[@MJmysummerlove]

@7carari I'm sorry , I didn't mean to :(. I do agree with everything you said and it's good to know that he will not be forgotten by not only his longtime fans, but a new generation of fans discovering his musical legacy and appreciating him.

[@beardedsparks2825]

Amazing! His English was better than his fellow countryman Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[@Cinemaphile7783]

His accent wasn't thick like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[@3MC4]

AWW the philosophical moment :)))))))))

[@GlowBella]

@khanoom1000 @The HDH83 I totally agree as well! I find him to be particularly handsome in this video, at least partially because he seems rather happy and smiley (I think he has a gorgeous smile). Love it whenever he speaks English too, since my German is fair at best! :)

[@gregcosta6965]

He was cool. RIP.

[@denisesmith4501]

What a babe♥️

[@mr.classic6823]

This Guy Was Awesome Its a Shame he Passed So Soon

[@Skyler1163]

Is it an accent difference like England English vs. American English or a completely different language? I have visited Austria (and it is beautiful) but the language sure sounded German to me.

[@SephirohsReunion]

...i have to correct myself, in vienna they do have a very strong accent but they also speak pure german their as well...if you want to know more, just type in "austrian german" or "viennese german" on wikipedia :)

[@hendersonkelly28]

@Allanlegacy43 Absolutely. He is truly loved and missed.

[@nikifly2]

falco was from austria , not germany !

[@tamaraspanehl3710]

Guten Morgen, mein geliebter Mann! Ich schreibe Dir nachher....

[@GlowBella]

@TheHDH83 Oh hell yes, absolutely! I would definitely be in for some international time travel! ;)

[@TheHDH83]

@khanoom1000 I agree! I guess it's because he looked like a man instead of a kid.He was handsome in an old school way.

[@GlowBella]

@TheHDH83 Amen, sister! Don't get me started on the Justin Bieber thing, I can't really understand it because I didn't like guys who looked that immature even when I was a young teen! Falco's look was very suave and classically handsome. I love the photos from the Junge Römer album, that's the old Hollywood look right there! Add in the fact that he was so talented, and that's my idea of a sexy man. ;)

[@NorthernExposure20]

Damn his English was so good
