Why shouldn't you turn around? Well, it's obvious! It's because Der Kommissar (the commissioner/police chief) is in town of course... originally recorded and released by Falco (of "Rock Me Amadeus" fame), After The Fire released their own version just one year later and it became a huge U.S. hit peaking at #5... just remember that the more you live, the faster you will die... here is a big scary tarantula and the British band After The Fire with "Der Kommissar"...
