Laura Branigan covered Falco

Postby oldnewwaver » Thu Nov 10, 2011 10:43 am

here is something interesting...on Laura Branigan's second LP Branigan 2 is a song called Deep in the Dark
it is the same exact song as Der Komimissar sung by Falco
it came out around the same time as the After the Fire cover version but with different lyrics
heard it on Itunes and it is interesting

Yes, it's basically the same song with different lyrics, from an original writer/producer on the Falco track (Robert Ponger, I believe). No time to Google this, but this is what I remember.
