"I wear my Sunglasses at night"

that was another that the video had that whole oppression feel to it or am I remembering wrong??

I love both those tunes!

The ripping guitar solo over a synth arrangement made Sunglasses really stand out to me.  And I loved the hook of Der Kommisar!

Let's just keep things straight, here. "Der Kommissar" was by Falco, a performer from Austria.

And "I Wear My Sunglasses at Night" was by Corey Hart, from Canada.
