Thanks for this one. I know the remix but the b-side is new to me. (Trivia tidbit: many years ago, Falco’s barber styled my hair. It didn’t make me as handsome as Falco but he tried.)
Hi Paul,
Please, please, please post the ‘Do It Again’ mixes!
Don’t tease us!
Hugs,
Mark Z
Oh Paul
Big hug from one of your Kraut fans. Love it! My absolute favourite from this weird, strange, awesome, great, unreliable, reliable :-), lovable, abominable, talented singer who passed away much too early, just when he started another great comeback. He was Austrian, obviously, but we always regarded him as quasi-German 🙂
“Junge Roemer tanzen anders all die anderen”
“Young Romans dance differently to the others.”
Trite, but wonderful.
By the way,
as we are seven hours ahead of you I always check your site before I go to work. This way I start almost each and every day with a smile 🙂
It´s 9.10 a.m. over here and I gotta go.
Love & hugs
k.

yes, the shep pettibone mixes of falco’s cover of steely dan’s “do it again” would be awesome. they have never been released on CD or in good quality!
🙂
Thanks Paul, great post as you usually do!
…the female chorus remembers me “Imagination” by Belouis Some,
and there is also a verse in Italian (that I didn’t remember!)
Do You have also the US 12″?
…as Jon said above, hope you’got “Do it again”
remixed by Shep Pettibone (is it right?)
Thx again!
Yes I have the US 12″ BE.D12” posting it tomorrow 🙂
Not to be weird and all but if I could reach into my computer and kiss you I would! I’ve been waiting ages for quality sound of those remixes.
I would kiss ya back Jon 🙂
Love this song….how about the US only 12″ of Do It Again…never issued on CD
See what I can do for you Jon 🙂
Thanks Paul.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
Another psychic moment Paul. Just last week, I was checking out your Falco posts and here, today, you’re posting another Falco jam. Very, very cool. Thank you for fleshing out his discography. I always feel that with each post, it’s really a tribute to an artist’s body of work. You’re truly amazing Paul and so dear to my heart (and ears!).
Jeff
It’s no doubt that we have psychic moments Jeff you have great taste in music 🙂
