    Turn Around, Hang Around, Look Around
    I'm trying to remember a song I liked when I was a kid.
    I have forgotten if it says "Don't turn around," Don't hang around," or
    Don't look around."

    I thought it said, "The Commisar's in town, ohoh." Apparently it doesn't
    Say that either, as I can't find it in any lyrics search engines. I remember
    The tune clearly, cause a group of other little girls and I had this dance
    Routine for it:p. Does anyone know this tune? It was a guy or a male
    Group that sang it.

    Der Kommissar (After the Fire)-Falco

    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 singing
    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 going to 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
    It's 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 your 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

    Funny how after all these years the songs from your youth sometimes blend into each other in your head. Lol.

    What year was that? I don't remember it having those lyrics.
    Do you know of a web site where I could hear it? Thanks for
    The response, but I don't know if that's it unless I can hear it.

    The After the Fire version was released in 1982. There were 2 other versions but they are not as popular. Try you tube for the video. Should be on there.
