like Falco's delivery on half these tracks is making me crack up without even knowing what he's saying

Yeah, the lyrics are often quite witty and urbane. That was definitely kind something that opened up Falco to me, was listening to it with a native German speaker - I have basic tourist German - but she explained a lot of the jokes and references (there’s a bit of Austrian and German politics in places).
Also, apparently Germans find Viennese accents adorable, which was not a thing I’d really considered before!

ok if "Einzelhaft" means solitary confinement why does the song sound like the Village People
