In the Netherlands we have/like several popular German artists, for instance this one by Falco was a big hit.

Falco - Der Kommissar

Not the time I've encountered such a confusion.

My bad. Certainly he was.

I'd say Jeanny or Rock me Amadeus were a lot bigger. There was also Matthias Reim - Verdammt ich lieb dich.

True.

Der Kommissar was his first hit in the Netherlands though. Jeanny and Rock Me Amadeus produced by Bolland & Bolland (Dutch producer duo but you probably know).

Other German songs from what I remember as a teenager… Halt Mich, Völlig Losgelöst, Da Da Da, Skandal in Sperrbezirk.
