How much difference, really, is there between Taco, Taco the Wonder Dog, and Commander Taco? And are we sure they aren't all the same guy?
Huh?
HUNH!?
Prove it!

Normally I'm fascinated by non-single album tracks from "one-hit wonders" (you never know when you're going to stumble across buried treasure etc etc etc) but I'm pretty confident that in Taco's case the public was right for once: This guy shot his conceptual/creative wad with the one hit.

I can't believe I didn't post to this thread.

what are the details of this purported "James Dean style death" of Falco's?

"Vienna Calling" was even better.

It amazes me that the album on which you'll find VC and "Amadeus" (Falco 3, is it?) hit the Top 3.

Taco by far. Especially if you count the video.

Keep waiting for the day when Stone Phillips signs off a Dateline episode with "Alles klar eh Komissar?"

i'm astounded "puttin' on the ritz" hasn't been reissued or even re-edited yet! the last three minutes of this track demand a todd terje re-make!!!

Oh God, a todd terje remake of putting on the ritz MUST happen.

I actually remember Taco's follow-up: a similarly styled retro revival called "Let's Face the Music and Dance." Meh at best.

And Falco was actually kinda hot.

Falco is my pick because he was somewhat more consistent and actually managed to build a lengthy career in various styles rather than just doing one gimmick.

But he never made anything as great as Taco's version of "Puttin' On The Ritz". :9

Falco for not doing the worst version of "Puttin' On the Ritz"

Good lord, loop those 4 bars of tapdancing, but some bass and a kick on that, you got a stew going.
