Falco -Jeanny & Coming Home (symphonic version, LIVE)
Jeanny is a song by the Austrian musician Falco, recorded in 1985 for Falco's album Falco 3.
It was the third song released as a single out of the album in 1986. Controversial due to its lyrics, it nonetheless became a number one hit in numerous European countries.
In 2008 the song re-entered the Austrian Single Charts.
The song is about a relationship between a man and a girl named Jeanny. At the time when it reached number one, critics said that the song glorifies rape. German TV and radio personality Thomas Gottschalk made various negative remarks and called the song "rubbish".
An outcry in German language markets caused the song to be banned by some radio broadcasters or played with a preceding warning by others. Typically, the scandal only helped to increase the sales of the single.

The song is sung in a slightly unhinged voice, but the lyrics don't actually contain any direct reference to the act of rape or abduction. It is left to the listener's imagination. Falco argued that it is about the musings of a stalker.
The part of the Newsflash in the track is spoken by a German newsreader; The newsflash has obvious parallels to the case in the song, but doesn't explicitly mention the girl's name.
Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2, One Year Later)
In 1986, Falco published the single Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2, One Year Later) on his album Emotional, in which the possible point of view is strongly relativized. The song was also released as a single and reached the top of the charts in several countries, including for example, Germany and Sweden. Against expectations, in Austria, Falco reached 4th place in the charts. Musically, the song is more towards ballads and pop music. On the flip side of the single the song Crime Time is found, which is also from the album emotional.
The lyrics:
Jeanny, komm, come on
Steh auf bitte
Du wirst ganz nass
Schon spät, komm
Wir müssen weg hier
Raus aus dem Wald
Verstehst du nicht?
Wo ist dein Schuh
Du hast ihn verloren,
Als ich dir den Weg zeigen musste
Wer hat verloren?
Du, dich?
Ich mich?
Oder
Wir uns?
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
You're lost in the night
Don't wanna struggle and fight
There's someone who needs you
Es ist kalt
Wir müssen weg hier,
Komm.
Dein Lippenstift ist verwischt
Du hast ihn gekauft und
Und ich habe es gesehen
Zuviel Rot auf deinen Lippen
Und du hast gesagt "mach mich nicht an"
Aber du warst durchschaut.
Augen sagen mehr als Worte
Du brauchst mich doch, hmmmh?
Alle wissen, dass wir zusammen sind
Ab heute
Jetzt hör ich sie!
Sie kommen!
Sie kommen dich zu holen.
Sie werden dich nicht finden.
Niemand wird dich finden!!
Du bist bei mir.
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
You're lost in the night
Don't wanna struggle and fight
There's someone who needs you
