Falco :: Urban Tropical (Extended)
It’s much, much easier to make a case for the B-Side of Falco’s smash-hit “Rock Me Amadeus” as a bizarro, hopped up seven-minute odyssey than it is to convince anyone that it’s, you know, actually good. And yet, the new wave scat-rap of “Urban Tropical” is more than good. It’s the jam — a jam with the added bonus of eliciting a collective (if predictable) response of: “THAT Falco?” That Falco, indeed.
Conceived with fellow Austrian genre-polymath Kurt Hauenstein (Supermax, uber-session player, possibly in on the Milli Vanilli scam…), the song seethes with an undercurrent of unabashed hedonism. There’s certainly an element of “we have a lot of money and we have a lot of drugs.” The constant, however, is the free-wheeling Falco, née Johann “Hans” Hölzel, who brings the same kind of nonsense-makes-things-fun attitude that made a song about a classical composer’s financial woes an international sensation. / kramer

Escape

Edit2:
Well, what can I do?
Well, what can I do?
Okay, yes
We are bored
We're all bored now
But has it ever occurred to you
The process that creates this boredom
That we see in the world now
May very well be
A self-perpetuating
Unconscious form of brainwashing
Created by a world totalitarian government
Based on money
And that all of this
Is much more dangerous than one thinks?
And it's not just a question
Of individual survival
But that somebody who's bored is asleep
And somebody who's asleep will not say no
See, I keep meeting these people I mean, just a few days ago
I met this man that I greatly admire
He's a Swedish physicist
And he told me that he no longer watches television
He doesn't read newspapers
And he doesn't read magazines
He's completely cut them out of his life
Because he really does feel
That we're living
In some kind of Orwellian nightmare now And that everything that you hear now
Contributes to turning you into a robot
When I was at Findhorn
I met this extraordinary English tree expert
Who had devoted his life to saving trees
84 years old and he always travels with a backpack
Because he never knows
Where he's gonna be tomorrow
When I met him at Findhorn and he said to me "Where are you from?"
And I said, "New York."
He said, "Ah, New York.
Yes, that's a very interesting place.
Do you know a lot of New Yorkers who keep talking about the fact that they want to leave but Never do?"
And I said, "Oh, yes."
And he said, "Why do you think they don't leave?"
I gave him different banal theories. He said, "Oh, I don't think it's that way at all."
He said, "I think New York is the new model for the new concentration camp
Where the camp
Has been built
By the inmates themselves
And the inmates are the guards
And they have this pride
In this thing they built.
They built their own prison
And so they exist
In a state of schizophrenia
Where they are both guards and prisoners And as a result
They no longer have
Having been lobotomized
The capacity to leave
The prison they've made
Or to even see it as a prison."
And then he went into his pocket
And he took out a seed for a tree
And he said
"This is a pine tree."
Put in my hand and he said
"Escape before it's too late."
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
We should get out.
Get out of here
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
This is the beginning
Of the rest of the future now
Escape before it's too late
See, actually for two or three years now
Chiquita and I have had this very unpleasant feeling
That we really should get out
And we really feel like Jews in Germany in the late '30s
Get out of here
Of course, the problem is where to go
Because it seems quite obvious
That the whole world is going in the same direction
See, I think it's quite possible That the 1960s represented
The last burst of a human being
Before he was extinguished
And that this is the beginning
Of the rest of the future now
That from now on
There'll simply be all these robots walking around
Feeling nothing
Thinking nothing
And there'll be nobody left almost
To remind them
That there once was a species
Called a human being With feelings and thoughts
And that history and memory
Are right now being erased
And, soon, nobody will really remember
That life existed on the planet
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
We should get out.
Get out of here
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
Escape before it's too late
This is the beginning
Of the rest of the future now
Escape before it's too late
