I dunno about the brilliant lyricist thing, but Taco prophesised the late 90's/early 00's upsurge in covering Vocal Pop (Joni Mitchell, Bryan Ferry, Robbie Williams, George Michael), didn't he?

ROCK ME AMADEUS!
"ROCK ME AMADEUS!"

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

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!!!
― r1o natsume, Thursday, 11 September 2008 11:31 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Joseph McCombs, Friday, 12 September 2008 05:37 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
