"Der Komissar" by After The Fire. You might also want to track down the original version by Falco (the same guy who did "Rock Me Amadeus"). Both versions are highly recommended :)

"The common star is here"?! That should have been posted in the Misheard Lyrics section. Anyway, it may surprise you to know that After The Fire was actually a Christian group and that they started out in the early 70s. The last I heard, at least two of its members were still in Christian ministry, one as a youth pastor and another as a Christian music producer.

LMAO!  Take no offense, 7zark7, but that is one great misheard lyric!  Here's the English, and then the German lyrics:

Der Kommissar

Zwei drei vier one two three
Its easy to see
But its not that I don't care so
Cause I hear it all the time
But they never let you know
On the TV and the radio
She was young her heart was pure
But every night is bright she got
She said sugar is sweet
She come rappin' to the beat
Then I knew that she was hot

She was singin
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
You're in his eye
And you'll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

She said babe you know
I miss Jill and Joe
And all my funky friends
But my street understanding
was just enough to know what she really meant
And I got to thinking while she was talking
That I know she told the story
Of those special places that she goes
When she rides with the others in the subway

Singin'
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
And you don't know why
You say your life
Is gonna make you die...

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

Well we meet Jill and Joe
And brother Herr
And the whole cool gang (and oh)
They're rappin' here they're rappin' there
But she's climbin' on the wall
Its a clear case, Herr Kommissar
Cause all the children know
They're all slidin' down into the valley
They're all slipping on the same snow

Hear the children
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
He's got the power
And you're so weak
And you're frustration will not let you speak

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
Then you'll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
(repeat)

Der Kommissar
Falco
(R. Ponger - Falco)

Two, three, four, eins, zwei, drei
Es is nichts dabei
Wenn ich euch erzaehle die Geschichte
Nichts desto trotz, ich bin es schon gewohnt
Im tv-funk da laeuft es nicht, jah
Sie war so jung, das Herz so rein und weiss
Und jede Nacht hat ihren Preis
Sie sagt: "Sugar sweet, jah'got me rapp'in to the heat!"
Sie sagt: Babe you know, I miss my Funky friends"
Sie meint, Jack und Jill
Mein funk Verstaendnis reicht zur Not
Ich ueberreiss' was sie jetzt will
Ich ueberlege bei mir, ihre Nase spricht dafuer
Waehrend dessen ich noch rauche
Die "special places" sind ihr wohlbekannt
Ich meine, sie faehrt ja U-bahn auch dort singen's:
Dreh dich nicht um - oh, oh, oh
Der Kommissar geht um - oh, oh, oh
Er wird dich anschauen, und du weisst warum
Die Lebenslust bringt dich um
Alles klar Herr Kommissar?
(Hey man, wanna buy some stuff man?
Did you ever rap that thing Jack, so rap it to the beat)
Wir treffen Jill und Joe und dessen Bruder hip,
Und auch den Rest der koolen gang
Sie rappen hin, sie rappen her
Dazwischen kratzen's ab die Waend'
Dieser Fall ist klar lieber Herr Kommissar
Auch wenn sie anderer Meinung sind
Den Schnee auf dem wir alle talwaerts fahren
Kennt heute jedes Kind
Jetzt das Kinderlied
Dreh dich nicht um - oh, oh, oh
Der Kommissar geht um - oh, oh, oh
Er hat die Kraft und wir sind klein und dumm
Und dieser Frust macht uns stumm
La, la, la,la, la
Dreh dich nicht um - oh, oh, oh
Der Kommissar geht um - oh, oh, oh
Wenn er dich anspricht und du weisst warum
Sag' ihm dein Leben bringt dich um
La, la, la, la, la
Dreh dich nicht um - oh, oh, oh
Der Kommissar geht um - oh, oh, oh
