Rockin' With Mozart

Take a song that hits the charts that focuses on a historical figure and you will suddenly have a zillion teenagers who become "experts" on the subject.

Falco made a song inspired by the film, "Amadeus," with a strange combination of rap, pop, and orchestra.

When "Rock Me Amadeus" became a hit, half the kids around me were suddenly very philosophical about Mozart. The other half said, "You only like Mozart because of that stupid song!"

I won't tell you which side I was on.
