Mind you, try watching it with *no* sound. Oddly far more disturbing!

Immer wieder gut, dieses Video...
Actually, the song is kind of sort of a follow up to Ra Ra Rusputin. That one is by Boney M, which is of course Frank Farian, one of the most successful German producers. The "Moskau" song is by the don of German Schlager, Ralph Siegel. The Group is called Dschinghis Khan whose self-titled debut single was the German entry to the Eurovision Grand Prix in 1979. The macho/martial lyrics didnÂ’t really convince all neighbors (zero points from Israel, if I remember correctly)Â… They were riding through the desert / 1000 man and one in the lead / the hoofs of their horses whipped the sand / they carried fear and terror in all countries / and neither thunder nor lightning could stop them.
And every woman he liked / he took into his tent / the girl who didnÂ’t love him didnÂ’t exist / he begot seven children in just one night / and he only laughed at his enemies / as nobody was able to withstand his might.
Â… but managed to achieved a respectable forth position, nevertheless.
Moskau was the follow up single and conveys similar sentiments and geopolitical analysis.
This was followed by many more songs that lead us around the world: Sahara, Puszta, Samurai, China Boy, Der Verräter (the traitor), Hadschi Halef Omar, Himalaya, Loreley, Mexico, Pistolero, Rom.
None of which you should try to find.

its from finnish tv. in courtesy of the second biggest danceteacher-celebrity in the country, åke blomqvist. the tunes is dschinghis khan's moscow, i remember correctly. peep the trainers, they started reissuing them, but no one got the idea of using this little clip in the advertisments... well.
and its seems that i can't read... apologies, of course the tune is what it is...
Somehow this seems to be the right thread for posting this
It's a selection of pics of groups from the 70s Swedish dansband scene - Gert Jonnys seem to have a bit of a cult following in the US on the strength of one picture, but I'm more of a Garvis man myself. I think Garvis is one of the best band names ever!
I think I might have an LP by a dansband called Bennys somewhere......
there's a couple of good dansband records tou: by the polarna. the other one's got a cover version time is tight and the other a latin banger called bomba. the latter with a miniscule break with flutes and stuff. pretty impressive from a band that is called "the mates" actually...
Didn't know that dansband records got some heat, I see those records all the time, especially a lot of swedish and norvegian stuff. That kind of music was, and is still very popular here...
What stuff should I look for?
