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...

Mr Worldwide
antiracists be like:
Thats true globalization
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
Never see an artist enjoy his own music like Boney M. 😅
its not their music, they was just puppets, educate yourself...

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

@@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....
If I had a time machine, I would go back to 1979 and give this man a goddam wireless mic.
He would go flying

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...

The guy who wouldn’t die
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.

Old is gold
the sopot festival is amazing ma baker daddy cool the musical arrangment increadable
Rasputins family and grandchildren were alive when this was released, imagine listening to a song talking about how your grandfather boned royalty
It's a myth. He didn't sleep with the queen. He controlled her yes, but sleeping is far fetched.
OrphanMolester username checks out
@OrphanMolester He used her for politics and actually pissed off government officials by doing so. This was literally the reason he died. Also, in his own religion (Christianity), he believed he shouldn't sleep with the queen. Multiple historians believe this to be true as well.
@OrphanMolester Good question btw.

Well done sir. Goddamn jolly well done. You’ve done it. You’ve done it. You have won.
This is the best,YES THE BEST,comment I have ever seen.thank you so much.😂
lol, that's just very acurate
People please make this the top comment
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!
One of the greatest songs ever.
Its summarizes my childhood…..
Okay
They were actually forbiden to sing this song at that festival but they just did it anyway
Respect
why?
Yeah why?
Because Poland was a communist country at the time and the topic of rasputin and the Czar and the revolution was very slippery
@@tolonikpupu2053 Oop
FALSE INFORMATION. Think about it. Wouldn’t the crowd be a bit puzzled if they sing a song they’re not allowed to see?
"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
This sound quality from 1979 is groundbreaking and still considered good in todays age
Just for clarification, by the time this band performed the track:
Apple was only 3 years old
Blackberry still wasn’t born.
Nokia phones only came out in 1992.
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.
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.
"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

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!

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.
The showmanship of the vocalist is off the charts! Wish I was there to watch the show live!
He had to be high
Drugs got high on him
Oh yeah, definitely.
Yes for sure
I don't even care. This is a f*cking masterpiece
This has to be the best intro to a song ever
SAPPIGE GEIT
It certainly is!!!!!!!👍👍😎🇺🇸
I was 3 years old. THE USSR. My parents had a Boney M record. They are the best! Thanks! I'm 43 years old now.

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.
