Ever since Wustfest last week I've been on a Falco kick. Which isn't unusual, as I have long enjoyed the music of that late Austrian pop star ever since he hit it big in the U.S. with "Rock Me Amadeus." So it is understandable how baffled I am that I am only now discovering this cover of "Rock Me Amadeus" by the supremely talented group, Amadeus-The Electric String Quartet. This is a magnificent interpretation of the song, combining Falco's pop hooks with Mozart's classical compositions in an elegant, high-energy, gonzo presentation. Seriously, this is gloriously nuts.
