BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

A. Front

“Junge Roemer (Young Romans)” is a 1984 single by Austrian pop/rock singer Falco. Junge Roemer a slang term popular in early/mid 1980s Germany and Austria, which was the equivalent of the English term, “Yuppie”. Falco popularized the term further with his song by the same name, which glamorized the Junge Roemer lifestyle (Falco counted himself among this group of people).

The song was a hit single in Austria #8 as well as in Switzerland #24, and most notably in Spain, where it peaked at #2. In the United States a set of remixes by John Luango were released on 12″ vinyl. “Junge Roemer (Young Romans)” debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart on November 3, 1984 peaking at #52 after spending seven weeks on the survey.
