Apparently Mozart partied hard man
This song is centered on Mozart’s uninhibited lifestyle. The “rock me” part we find in the title is based on the 18th century musician being portrayed throughout this track in a fashion similar to a modern-day, rebellious rock star. Or more specifically, he is presented as a man who had an affinity for women,
booze and borrowing money. Also, according to the song, “rock me” is an expression fans of Mozart cried whenever they wanted him to perform some music.
This is actually a pretty-accurate portrayal of Mozart’s life. He was so into women and drinking that such indulgencies may have
contributed to his premature death at the age of 35. Moreover Mozart was also deeply in debt. However, it does not seem as if the bulk of it was owed to the banks, as the song implies. Rather he is known to have had more of a preference to
borrow from personal associates, such as family, friends and his students.
However, those are just interesting facts concerning his life, as the purpose of “Rock Me Amadeus” is not to portray the musician in a negative light. Rather it is to present Amadeus as he truly was – a rock star before the term ‘rock star’ even existed. He lived recklessly, had adoring fans, and people loved his music. So this song takes a lighthearted approach in reminding us of just how similar Mozart’s life, despite the fact he lived two centuries ago, is similar to those of the top musicians we enjoy today.
