Lyrics:
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
For power became known to more and more people
The demands to do something about this outrageous
Man became louder and louder
"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
Oh, those Russians...

It's April 22th, 2024. Lets see how many legends are listening to this classic!

Heh

The only thing holding him down from flying is the goddamn wired mic .
True
@@jazz8997 look at those bulky film cameras. The dancing looks hilarious.😄
@@jdbaxxter oh yeah 😂😂
I love it 😀
Boy skankin..
This song is like wine. The older it gets better it becomes.

Oh, yeah....
Old
“They put some poison into his wine!”
@@societyman7526 oh no......
Poison will be tiktok , I think....
Never see an artist enjoy his own music like Boney M. 😅
I am amazed at the amount of agility and energy this singer has. He never stops jumping and circling like a bee 😮
Hes long gone
@@nula370 Dur.... That's how it was done.
Thats what cocaine can do
That's Bobby Farrell ❤
@@jonperrett1087 What I meant was that's not even him singing on the backing track either. He's just a prop because the real singer didn't want to do it or something. There's a whole documentary on how Boney M is fake. Dur....
Mans came in to sing a total of 4 lines and dance and made a fricken banger
Me encanta el tema
@@ernestinavelez6849 are you saying you love the theme? I sometimes use google translate to translate comments
@@gxneuz9211 yea, she loves the song
He didnt even sing those four lines. Its a White man singing with effects. Google it if you dont believe me.
RA RA RASPUNCHIN
imagine what would this man have accomplished if he had wireless microphone
They could give him one, he is not singin and never was..
@@SuperWasara still a wireless mic would have given him even more "freedom of movement" and ideas.
Helo
He'll be unstoppable
@@marcomongke3116 he does not need mic because he is not real singer, they could give him dummy mic... but the show is great... th-cam.com/video/EjdVJT98egk/w-d-xo.html
This sound quality from 1979 is groundbreaking and still considered good in todays age
Shows from back then would famously just use the studio track and the musicians would just act like they were singing/playing
This isn't live. It's just the song playing over the video.
Even though I wasn't yet in this world to experience this concert (looking at Poland as a whole back then, maybe luckily even), I remember reading about how legendary it was. It was almost like a glimpse into the West through the Iron Curtain, maybe those feelings had a hand in the whole attitude that helped kick off the Solidarity movement in the adjacent Gdańsk just a year later.
Girls: Mom we want to form a band!
Mom: Ok, but take your brother
Girls: But Mom this is serious!
Mom: I said take your BROTHER!!
Girls: Aw com on
Brother: I swear I will do good
Also brother: (does better than excellent)
Girls: We regret saying that
😂😂
😂
Brother has dad sing for him.
Hahahaha kidding
"Mom i want Snoop Dog"
-We have Snoop Dog at home
*Snoop Dog at home*: 3:30
😭😭😭I wouldn't have even notice
Underrated comment
hahahahahahaha damn
😭😭😭😭
Haha when i saw him first i also thought about snoop dog
I'm listening to this song! Greetings from Venezuela 🇻🇪
I don't what amazes me more, his moves keeping time with the beat or the fact he doesn't get tangled up in a wired-microphone!
History exam: who was Rasputin?
Bobby Farrell: hold my shirt
Lol
Good one
And they say MC hammer came up with those pants?Bobby back there in 79 rocking them already
lol
The guy who wouldn’t die
3 Sisters:
"Mum, can we play outside?"

"Yes, but take your younger brother with you."

@@littlebunnybigbear5190 can you explain??
@@mohammedzein7251 ?
it was a joke and it was a good joke
hhhhh
@@mohammedzein7251 The joke is that the older siblings don't want the younger sibling around them for fear of embarrassment due to the younger siblings eccentric behavior, the mother know this so she makes the older siblings to take the younger sibling.
I can listen to their songs everyday. ❤. They awesome ❤
Anyone in April 2024👇

this is a proof that a true masterpiece doesn't die this song is 43 years old and still people are listening to it

Rasputin lives on
The fact that we don't have an award for this type of entertainment is a shame. I'd love to win a Boney M Award
😁
2009 = 30 years old
2019 = 40 years old
now= 45 years old and its still a catchy song
In 4 minutes and 29 second this man had more cardio than many of us in years.
Lol so true
i only did half of it lol
lols
Drugs
And sings during 😂..
1970 People: The future is going to be great!
2021 People: Let's go back to the 70's 😁
Nostalgia never ends! (My english may be so bad. So i may not write correctly sorry about this.)
Yes my friend
Ich bin kind 80er beste👍
lol yep the people from the 70's were right.
@Spoiler Gods Nice Movie Channel 👍
I made it a daily routine to perform the Rasputin Dance when I get back home from work. Is it tiring? Yes. But it gets better and is a whole lotta of fun! My wife thinks I'm nuts when she catches me off guard doing this solo dance. I say to her Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey dance with me. Thank you Boney M for this marvelous upload.
The beauty of music is that it is universal for everyone to enjoy regardless of cultural differences. Imagine a world without music. I cannot even fathom the thought. Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey!
"Full of ecstasy and fire"
Yea, I can see that.
Man looks like he's on crack
Bobby did a lot of Coke + Alcohol
**inhales flaming ecstasy**
Rasputin: “delicious”
No that’s Rasputin,this guy is more than just ecstasy
@@danielsama4711 this guy is cosplaying Rasputin. That's why I said that.
that microphone was the only thing keeping him from unleashing all his power
Imagine if he had a wireless microphone. The stage would be on fire.
he is the only one exhibiting energy, and everybody is in awe
He would have reached sky...
Imagine if they actually did a “live” show? Oh they did and it was awful. Straight disrespectful to real musicians who practice for YEARS.
@@garrisonjoshua1816 so gen was right. the stage would be on fire
I think that lead singer is feeling this song on a level regular humans will never understand.
singer ? dancer ..
Эти люди величайшие труженики.Дарили счастье всему миру своим талантом и музыкой.Мое глубочайшее почтение и любовь из России.
💞💋🌈👸🌈💋💞 Thanks you very much 15

RuZZia is a terrorist state
difficulty of the video:
10% sing a good song
90% not getting caught in the cables while dancing
Disagree 1% good song. Germany's revenge.
Song is fire wth u talking about
Turns out he's not dancing, just avoiding the cables.
100% drug fueled dance
Faxs
He was a man, limited by the technology of his time.
And what technology has to do with technology. Today's technology cannot be compared with yesterday's. Even so, it did not prevent rte from being carried out and there would be quality in the realizations. Today, a lot of technology and little art.
@@piroscarelarmadillito6821 can you repeat that in structured english

yes that is right
Guys, I think he is talking about the wired microphone.

Never mind the Zumba classes. Rasputin will get you in shape! You will get a great cardio workout! You can go at your own tempo and then increase your intensity as you go. You will sport a tired happy face ☺☺. It is so worth it!

Here is a SHOCKER... Google "Rasputin" or read his biography and you will be literally shocked. The man with a 11 inch penis (hence the phrase Russia's love machine) who refused to die no matter how many times they tried to kill him.

I just love that since then, everytime someone mentions the real Rasputin in any kind of fiction, this songs plays out in the background. Kingsman, Dr Who, Destripando la Historia...

This guy burns more calories in a concert than the average man in a gym.

One of the greatest songs ever.
Its summarizes my childhood…..
Okay
Боже, какая ностальгия! 😅
If he had a wireless mic he'd be jumping on the audience.
The wire held him on stage. 😂😂
if it wasnt the wires, he would have dance himself towards the olympics! 😆

So relatable

Son de esas melodias con las que no puedes estar quieta!
En automático te pone a bailar, pero tengo que hacer la cena, intentaré hacerlo al mismo tiempo😂
That’s one way to hit your daily 10k steps quick 😂
Quick couple lines of coke and then this get your weeks steps in 4 minutes
😂 underrated... + I'm currently doing the exact thing 😳
😂😂😂😂good good
It's crazy. He is hopping on the stage like he's on a substance. It's just beautiful.
@@jasonhowden6908 Maybe. But your fitness levels to sing and dance at that level need a lot of training. I’m sure they train a lot to beable to perform at that level.

Born in Island country of *Aruba* ,

In a *German* band,

The late 70’s had a certain unique vibe, this song captures it perfectly.
Yeah. It’s called drugs

Plot twist: it was random. Dude had to follow the light while dancing.

I can’t believe there’s actually a song effectively summarising Grigori Rasputin’s life. But I’m even more surprised that it’s such a banger.
And they're Black people from the carribean living in Germany 🤨😂😂😂
I guess this is what the Russians are Jamming and slamming to.
Well HE certainly was! *rimshot*
BANGER!
Well, not really. Most of the stuff that's said in this song is tainted by Soviet propaganda and urban myths. He likely was not as much of a womanizer, luster, nor had "hunger for power", at least as much as they say. The Soviets used Rasputin as an example of the corruption of the Tsarist era and made up some facts about his life.
