What Song, What Artist or Group?

Doing alright

A little jiving on a Saturday night

And come what may

Gonna dance the day away

Jenny was sweet

She always smiled for the people she meet

On trouble and strife

She had another way of looking at life

Easy one fer Starters ;)

How about this one?

Well, have you ever seen a girl for whom your soul you`d give

For whom you`d fight for, die for, pray to God to live

`Cause she`s so fine, she`s so fine

She`s really sweet, the finest girl you ever wanna meet

A little late... :o

But your wish is my command?

I know it’s late, I know you’re weary

I know your plans don’t include me

Still here we are, both of us lonely

Longing for shelter from all that we see

And another

Two, three, four, eins, zwei, drei

Es is nichts dabei

Wenn ich euch erzaehle die Geschichte

Nichts desto trotz, ich bin es schon gewohnt

Im tv-funk da laeuft es nicht, jah

Sie war so jung, das Herz so rein und weiss

Und jede Nacht hat ihren Preis

Sie sagt: "Sugar sweet, jah'got me rapp'in to the heat!"

Sie sagt: Babe you know, I miss my Funky friends"

Sie meint, Jack und Jill

AFTER THE FIRE lyrics - "Der Kommissar"

Zwei, drei, vier

One, two, three

Its easy to see

But its not that I don't care so

'Cause I hear it all the time

But they never let you know

On the TV and the radio

She was young her heart was pure

But every night is bright she got

She said sugar is sweet

She come rappin' to the beat

Then I knew that she was hot

She was singin'

Don't turn around, uh-oh

Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh

You're in his eye

And you'll know why

The more you live

The faster you will die

:rolleyes: Their lyrics are a little bit different but i know this isn't the group you are after.... :ph34r:

  Is this song refering to Drugs? 

:rolleyes: Not a clue what the lyrics are referring to Mick. I didn't know that Falco was dead...

B) Alas, alack, der Falke is dead

A wreath of laurels crowns his head

And I sit still and weepily mourn

For with his death, I feel forlorn

I am adrift in a sea of sadness

Only Jeanny staves off madness

The lilting strains of Der Kommissar

Unites us all, both near and far

And though his soul's gone away

His legacy of music is here to stay. B)

Interestingly (or not)

Look who else is buried in the same graveyard, Zentral Friedhof (Central Cemetery), Vienna, Austria
