After the huge succes of the Falco track “Rock Me Amadeus” Rob and Ferdi Bolland were asked to write and produce another track for the Austrian singer. “Jeanny” came out in December 1985 as the third song of Falco’s studio album “Falco 3”.
The single was very controversial due to the lyrics and some TV and radio stations boycotted the track, but … it still topped the charts in various European countries.
For this week’s vlog I sat down with Rob Bolland, to ask him about the story behind “Jeanny” and more.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

#robbolland #falco #jeanny
What is your all-time favorite track by Falco?
1. Jeanny
2. Out Of The Dark
3. Der Kommissar
Zuviel Hitze, Ganz Wien, Einzelhaft, Amerika, Nur Mit Dir, Egoist, Verdammt Wir Leben Noch. I can't keep it to one, and there are plenty more.
If I really had to pick one: Der Kommissar. But, his whole discography is interesting! Falco sadly died way too young.
Mutter, Der Mann Mit Dem Koks Ist Da :)
Muter der mann mit dem kokst ist da
Can’t wait for his biography 📚
Same! Would love to read that one!
I always found strange that Falco was one-man band. But now I get it, thanks to Rob he became famous.
Still, an amazing song. Very controversial as well at the time, I understand, but still a big hit.
What an absolutely lovely gentleman! I love how he asked his family if he should include certain things in his autobiography and they agreed that he should. Yes, indeed! There are too many completely whitewashed autobiographies out there. It's the authentic, honest, and open ones that people want to read.
Thanks for the great Interview, personally it would be interesting to hear something about Tora Tora Tora and The Boot which are also great Songs from Rob Bolland.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the interview. And for sure he did a lot of great tracks, but for my channel I always focus on big classics / hits. There’s one more interview I did with Rob that will be posted still; the story behind the Samantha Fox classic “Love House”.
Fantastic song, didn't hear it for couple of years, today after watching your video I did of course. Now the funny thing is that I never understood the lyrics, I didn't speak German, but I'm now living in Austria & today was the first time I could actually understand what the song is about. Funny that you lnow and like a song for nearly 40 years but you dont even understand the lyrics 😊
Hallo Twan, bij toeval kwam ik bij terecht bij je interviews met Rob Bolland. Dank, heel erg interessant allemaal. Sinds 1981 met de single "You're in the army now" volg ik de muziek van Rob en Ferdi Bolland. Hun eigen muziek en de producties die ze voor anderen doen. Ook ben ik een groot liefhebber van Falco en niet alleen de van de Bolland producties, maar van alle albums.
Ik wil niet zeuren, maar er is één klein foutje in de video (en in de beschrijving). Je zegt en schrijft dat "Jeanny" op het album "Falco" staat. Dat klopt niet helemaal, want het album heet "Falco 3". Met een "3" dus. Kijk goed naar de hoes en je ziet naast zijn naam een kleine "3" staan. Het was dan ook zijn derde album en het eerste dat Falco samen met de broers Bolland heeft gemaakt. De remaster van het album in 2010 werd kortweg "F3" genoemd. Volgend jaar is het 40 jaar geleden dat het album uit kwam en ik hoop zeker een deluxe uitgave met alle versies van de singles en vele extra's. En ik kijk ook erg uit naar de biografie van Rob Bolland!
Dank je! Ik heb het aangepast in de beschrijving, bedankt voor de tip ;-) Ben overigens ook erg blij dat Rob erg enthousiast was toen ik hem vroeg voor 2 interviews. Na een beetje heen en weer mailen zijn het er dus 4 geworden haha. Veel mooie verhalen, dus een mooie aanvulling voor mijn RUclips kanaal.
Groeten,
Twan
strange this video doesn't have many views but people will find it eventually
Well I only posted it last evening hehe
Jeanny would probably have been more controversial in current times.
Still my favo all time of Falco with Der Kommmisar as a secound because of the catchy "Dreh dich nicht um, oh oh" and the iconic 80s sound.
"Falco doesn't do ballads" :D
Haha I know right? 😂 Glad they convinced him and changed his mind 😉
@@muzikxpress absolutely, it's my favorite song of his, it's so ahead of its time and it's just perfect for Falco. The way he's saying it and imitating the way Falco''s talking is just perfect and spot on, hilarious, just the way he would have said that. :D
Falco was mentioned and played in the show Dark on Netflix and then they played him in stranger things
Kleiner Nachtrag ,, er war der Mann meiner schlaflosen Nächte Robby❤,und er sieht immer noch gut aus
Twan, in dit interview (en die daarvoor met Rock me Amadeus) weet je precies wanneer je gewoon je mond moet houden en de gast lekker zijn gang moet laten gaan. Heerlijk om dat echte spontane te horen.
Ja ik irriteer me echt mateloos aan talk shows en mensen die hun gasten niet uit laten praten! Ik zeg niet dat ik het nooit doe, maar ik probeer er toch wel echt rekening mee te houden dat de gast gewoon netjes zijn / haar verhaal kan doen. Fijn dat het opvalt haha, dank je!
Does anyone know if, Johann Hans Holzel (falco) is at rest with the other 2 ?
Being the only survivor of triplets.
To bad he sold his sole to the devil😑 sad.....
I've seen footage of his grave online and I did only see Falco's name being mentioned on the grave. Plus in 1957 I don't think it was a common thing yet in Austria (and other countries) to bury stillborn babies. So I doubt it.
Why did he sell his soul to the devil?
@@nicolecross5291 I’m curious to see a reply to this as well haha
He was a triplet for real
@@LeahDyson-kq4bd yeah, check Wikipedia.
Vienna Calling and this
Would it be possible to make an interview with Praga Khan to ask questions about his rave classics? By the way, I can relate to your choice of artists. In my teens I grew up listening to electro pop, then classic rave and techno, then Euro house, then trance and now days progressive trance and house.
He’s one of the many people on my loooong interview wish list, so hopefully it will happen one day (if he’s up for it!) 🤞🏻
4:42 lmaooo perfect impression
I want to hear the playback! Lovely interview :)
Danke für das Interview, aber permanent die Hintergrundmusik ist sehr anstrengend
Glad you enjoyed the interview! And since my channel is about music, there’s obviously music in the background of the interviews I’m doing as well. I always make sure the volume of the background music is a lot softer compared to the voices.
Thanks Twan!!!
And thank you too!
4:44 great imitation!!! 😀
Ik had wel fijn gevonden dat alle delen van jeanny nl ondertiteling zou krijgen want kan maar een nummer vinden en dan is het Engels ondertiteld
@@CindyEnkids wat bedoel je precies? Ik begrijp het niet helemaal? 🙈
Robby Bolland ❤
9:40 He explains "after that (Jeanny) I wrote IN THE ARMY NOW", but this song already came out 1982, while Jeanny was 1985..?
@@r.g.kooper no he’s talking about “In The Army Now” there (go a few seconds back), not about “Jeanny”.
@@muzikxpress oh yeah, got it, thx
There is a Polish language version of "'Jeanny" performed in 1996 by Ich Troje
🤩
Thx Twan!!
But, as a polyglot (german, english and dutch) its really hard to understand Rob! :-( maybe next time keep it in his language - and subtitle it :S
Unfortunately it takes a lot of time to translate and add subtitles. It is very time consuming to do that and I simply don’t have that time. It is difficult enough already for me to find the time to do all these interviews tbh. Muzikxpress is “just” a hobby for me and I do everything myself in my (limited) spare time, sorry!
@@mytrueself1598 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the interview! :)
@@mytrueself1598 Dat steenkolen Engels is toch niet om aan te horen man. Verpest het interview. Oeps, ben ik ook zeker een ''spoiled kid'' 🤣.
As an american i understand him
I just discovered that when Rob's Falco musical opens, there will be two different Falco musicals going on at the same time. There is another one that's been going on for years, apparently.
Oh that’s interesting, I didn’t know about that. Is it also in Austria?
@@muzikxpress Looked at the website and it appears to only play in cities throughout Germany. I would definitely be much more interested in Rob's since he was actually part of the Falco story and music.
