Subject: Der Kommissar

Written By: langdon hughes on 5/27/2000 at 3:33 p.m.

I can't take it anymore. I know all the words and I still have no clue what this song is about. What's a Kommissar, why's he in town, and who the bloody hell cares if I turn around? And where does the subway fit into all of this? Someone, please, enlighten me...

> ex I believe Laura "Calling Gloria" Brannigan also recorded a version. I still don't get it. Is the chick in question escaping the West German regime? Am I giving the song way too much credit and it actually means nothing other than someone was making random attempts at political references when writing it? Is it obvious I have no life yet?
