![Boney M - Rasputin [ cover ] Drum & Bongo by Kalonica Nicx](/img/n.gif)
A group of Jamaican performers, founded in Germany, singing in English about a Russian with a Turkish backing track. That probably achieved more cross-country unity in 4 minutes than many diplomats achieve in their entire lifetime.
What was the Turkish backing track?
@@billba the background music. The song without the singing.
@@kalypsokeith1851 he isn't asking what a backing track is he's asking what the backing track is called
Absolutely HILARIOUS!!
and they're on a Dutch TV show
He’s reaching levels of funk that shouldn’t be possible
The actual band behind these four doesn't get enough credit.
@@heresjohnny602 the four have become one through the funk
@@heresjohnny602 that band most likely got paid the job to record the backing track and be done. no credit needed. Job completed > move on. ( Just a guess )
😂
Bobby Farell (the bloke dancing) died in St-Petersburg on 30 december, same day and place as Rasputins dead (not year ob.)
gunterke wow!
gunterke correction he died in Amsterdam bijlmer apartment
Rip
Was hopeing the grand master of the dancefloor was still alive, now i will never learn hes moves.
:(
coincidence, i think not
ok, this is officially the greatest thing i've ever fuckin seen.
Right?
Bobby Farrell and Rasputin both died in Saint Petersburg on the same date (December 30) Bobby in 2010, Rasputin in 1916.
Supernova66.... Are you for real? That's too much of a coincidence. That's very mystical and supernatural.
Half the fun of Bony M was watching Bobby Farrell dance. The man was amazing.
Kicked Michael's a**
Yes, he could move with the best of them. 👍😎🇺🇸
Yes, that boy could move.
the oringal wasn´t it related to Romanoffs, several ways to kill him, but not to a russian queen if they ever had one
I'd pay top dollar to see Farrell dance live.
Girls: Mom, we want to start a band.
Mom: Okay, but bring your brother.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow this comment is actual gold
Real ! 🤣
Mom knows who has the real star power.
Big facts
This band worked hard, always made a fantastic performance on all there songs, Bobby Farell, you were always a great dancer
The Messiah of the Dancefloor
llllllllllllllpllllllpppllllllllllllllllllllllllllllLppllllllll
except none of them were really singing.

@@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell that's how a music video works. This was made for TV, not a live audience.
So much joy in their performances. You love to see it.
He has not sing that
@@kevinlivecraft yeah, I read about that after I posted this :(
@@katestanley5910
Yes but he could dance 👍👍👍😎
R a s pu tin?
Fürstenzug, Kurfürsten, Otto, und Maharanis und die Samurai erst... heiliges Canossa
I mean, a song that could only be come out of the 70's. A preposterously fantastic performance, song, vibe and energy. Love it!
Ra ra !
Everything I know about history, I learned from Boney M.
This is awesome
I don't care if the song was pre-recorded still a master performance
funny about that!
I could listen to this over and over again. In fact, I am! And I bought the album on vinyl let’s goooo
The people who disliked this need a COVID test, because they’ve got no taste
Oof.
Very underrated, a lot of people saw this group as a joke but they made some fantastic music.
You could say that again Mr. Fox.
Yes, and they can’t smell their own bulls**t! 🤣
this song ain't to be sniffed at though. ace tune.
Plot twist: The platform is so hot that he couldn’t stop jumping
Cocaine hahaaa
Cheems😎
how about those ladies standing still?
@@aarondewit4320 they're wearing heels
The platforms is so hot from his dancing.
I had to come back and watch some more!!!!
These ladies know about fashion and which colour suits them. All three look (and are) amazing!!!!
Танец Солиста группы в этом клипе - Отдельный вид искусства
The women in the back look especially beautiful in this video, very nice costumes and those smiles are killer! Its hard to watch this and not be distracted by dude in the front, but the women in the back could make a corpse want to get up and groove to this song. The one in the middle is really setting the energy though it seems....amazing to watch!
Boney M was the best of the life, 😭 ❤
The only thing I clearly remember is these pretty girls singing and this man dancing non stop barefoot I absolutely loved it the first time I saw it as for my parents they didn't understand the lyrics of the song so I couldn't tell them which song I wanna hear :( but thats ok I just remembered Rasputin and kept thinking about this song again and again after I watched it just the first time happy we have TH-cam I love it ❤ brings back my childhood memories
I just love his energy level : )
level of coco in his blood xd
They deserved much better audiences than what they got for energetic performances like this.
The question is would Rasputin approve of this song? I think yes
If only Mr. Rasputin’s life was this interesting and exciting. 😉
It was indeed)
Oh dude, it was though
(edit: it's more that he was a terrible person than cool like in the song, but he was most certainly interesting
@@tei4724 i thought he just a myth with weird abilities like immortality or regen or smth
Bobby Farrell- Absolute Legend
Rasputin- Outrageous Man
that man is outrageous.
do something about it.
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
*DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!*
This is a fucking banger, how have I never heard this before.
Bobby was a great entertainer!!!
You been sleeping, son
at first i came back for the song, now also for the epic dance
grupo legendario inmortales Boney M de los 70's y 80's todas sus canciones son buenisimas
Great tune and a joyful performance. Bobby was nimble af! Mesmerising to watch
I'm surprised at how nimble he was.
What a great they were, Never had a smash hit here in the states. Top hit was Rivers of Babylon, got to #30 on Babylon. Nothing else higher than #65. You do here Mary's Boy Child every year a lot on Christmas radio to this day.
Their Christmas stuff was very good and beautiful.
I like this version better than the one with all the views. It's much more intimate feeling.
La canción fue lanzada en 1978 y está incluida en el álbum Nightfligh to Venus. El single de este tema fue un éxito total en Europa, llegando a los primeros lugares en Alemania y Austria y al segundo puesto en las listas del Reino Unido y Suiza.
i just love boney m
What a great hit this song was.... and that dude (he was ahead of his time!)
Saw him perform once irl.
Fuckin legend.
I love the band "Boney M" very much.
A history lesson AND a banger!
I am still listening to this song in 2024 ,was in U K at that time ,even now after 4 decades,sounds same 😊
This was fun! I'm dutch! 😎🖤💜🎙️🎹 🎻 Boney M! Ha!I was 6 when this came out! I'm old! Not old!
Sorry to say: But yes you are.. Don't worry.. Me too 😜
I was 7 😂😂😍
Hey is anyone else trying to find out what happened to the original video of this one???

Same thing, I think it got deleted or copyrighted. Do you remember the original uploader ?

@@BLITZKRIEG43 I think it did. I can’t find it anymore
I miss the original video. Just for the comment section
Listen to this on 1.25x speed, while doing homework. It’s the fastest I’ve been done with homework
Ah. Yes 🧐
@@badoopwarbleton9934 imagine having homework!!
I can relate (༎ຶ╭╮ ༎ຶ)
saludos desde México esta hermosa la canción
I love how the backup dancers just make up their moves throughout the whole song
They are not backup dancers
Boney M. was a Euro-Caribbean vocal group created by German record producer Frank Farian, who served as the group's primary songwriter. Originally based in West Germany, the four original members of the group's official line-up were Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett from Jamaica, Maizie Williams from Montserrat and Bobby Farrell, a performing artist from Aruba. The group was formed in 1976 and achieved popularity during the disco era of the late 1970s. Since the 1980s, various line-ups of the band have performed with different personnel.

I don’t think it was just the back up dancers making it up , they all were , utterly joyful
So does the frontman 😄
Bobby had three best gig in the world 🌍….. This man is my idol. What A Legend 🏆🏆🏆
Hoy tengo 56años y este tema lo escuche por primera ves en los 80 que hermosos recuerdos no me canso de escucharlo
Yo tengo 25 y espero escucharlos cuando tenga 56
Iguanas, ranas !!!
Escuché por primera vez este tema en la cortina musical de un programa de Alberto Olmedo.
This is one of those songs that came out about 20-30 years too early.
cultural appropriation tho in your usa
jasmyn belley what?
This performance is better than the one with millions of views
Mijn favoriete song van Boney M. Prima dansnummer, maar ook een geweldige tekst! Frank Farian heeft zich destijds echt verdiept in het leven van Rasputin en een prima biografie geschreven. Eerder deed hij dat ook bij Ma Baker en El Lute.
Dance tutorial for this amazing song:
Move the furniture out of the room.
Take off shoes and socks.
Release large spider on the floor.
Boney M es y sera uno de los grupos musicales mas espectaculares de todos los tiempos.No me canso de escucharlos.,,,!bien Boney M.!!Abraham.

I cry laughing at this , absolutely fantastic , such great music back then
YESSSSSSS!
IT'S BACK!!!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
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 kazachok 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
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
"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 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 'til he was dead
Oh, those Russians!
I'm sweating buckets just watching him dance like that.
Wow!!!..I'm tired from just watching him!!!
Интересно, какая будет реакция у иностранца, когда он прочитает русскоязычный комментарий!? Он переведет его с помощью переводчика и поймет, что смысла в нём нет 😁

Thanks a lot for the lyrics 😃
Давным-давно жил в России некий человек
Он был большим и сильным, в его глазах горело пламя
Большинство людей смотрели на него с ужасом и страхом
Но для московских цыпочек он был таким милым милым
Он мог проповедовать Библию, как проповедник
Полный экстаза и огня
Но он также был учителем
Женщины захотят
Ра ра Распутин
Любовник русской царицы
Была кошка, которая действительно исчезла
Ра ра Распутин
Величайшая машина любви России
Было жаль, как он продолжал
Он правил русской землей и не говоря уже о царе
Но ряса, которую он танцевал, действительно вундербар
Во всех государственных делах он был мужчиной, чтобы угодить
Но он был действительно великолепен, когда у него была девушка, чтобы сжать
Для королевы он не был дилером
Хотя она слышала, что он сделал
Она считала его святым целителем
Кто исцелит ее сына
Ра ра Распутин
Любовник русской царицы
Была кошка, которая действительно исчезла
Ра ра Распутин
Величайшая машина любви России
Было жаль, как он продолжал
Но когда его пьянство, похоть и голод
Ибо власть становилась известна все большему количеству людей
Требование сделать что-нибудь с этим возмутительным
Человек становился все громче и громче
Этот человек просто должен идти, объявил своих врагов
Но дамы умоляли, не пытайтесь это сделать, пожалуйста
Несомненно, у этого Распутина было много скрытых прелестей.
Хотя он был скотом, они просто упали в его объятия
Однажды ночью некоторые люди более высокого положения
Установите ловушку, они не виноваты
Приходили к нам в гости, они требовали
И он действительно пришел
Ра ра Распутин
Любовник русской царицы
Они добавили яд в его вино
Ра ра Распутин
Величайшая машина любви России
Он выпил все это и сказал, я чувствую себя хорошо
Ра ра Распутин
Любовник русской царицы
Они не уходили, они хотели его голову
Ра ра Распутин
Величайшая машина любви России
И поэтому они стреляли в него, пока он не был мертв
Ох уж эти русские
Li
I really thought it was "lovely dish.."😁
The fact that this guy's instrument is a giant drum you step on like dance revolution. Where can I get one.
Geat song & band also great memories.
They went on tour through Europe and the USSR allowed them in ONLY if they did NOT play this song. Poland was fine.
At the end of the song he finally got the squirrel out of his pants
I love TopPop
Bu ne enerji böyle, izlerken yoruluyor insan :)
Wowwww.. beautiful old music
Shut it...I was 11 when this came out..! ;) Old music...that would be Beethoven.
BOBBY FARRELL, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INPUT INTO BONY M , RIP 🙏🙏
Lo bueno nunca va morir,👍👍
Oh those Russians
they are germans
Povetkin.
"Dies"
Bobby Farrell, you are the Rusputin, you are the Boney M.
0:35 Best Moment! Dancefloor on fire!
Atualmente um dos sucessos do tiktok
One of the best singer ! Watching from Marudi Sarawak
best singer and best swisnger!
Beautiful how the strong women's voices sound...love it.
I remember someone once described this as: "He's dancing like the floor is capitalism."
To bad he couldn't have done a show with Abba. He would been the dancing king
That was my favorite comment too 🤣
@@R0ZEN7 the song actually describes a guy that lived in the Russian Empire. way before USSR and communism
that might have been me. too bad the video from like 12 years ago is deleted now
Classic stuff!
You are a legend of you didn't came from Tik Tok
Reggae is my kind of music
Respect vrouw e ❤
This man taught me how to dance!
Bobby Farrell You were one of the Greatest to ever do this loved the gals too R.R
W.I.H♀️💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Respect royalty family 🇧🇪
Joni dep .💪💪💪💪mijn brother. Ha ha ha.
The 3 backup dancers look like they’re actually having fun,
Bobby Farell looks like he was forced to preform a ritual.
They aren't 'backup dancers'. Those fine women are 99% of the band :D
@@sunlightevidence4359 technically 75% because there's 4 members
Best clip I've ever seen 😂
fun fact: this singer has passed away in Russia, on the same day as Rasputin Dec 30. there is a reason we Russians believe that the dead can pull us with them by our sleeves if we'll remember them too much or wear their clothes or will have their names or pretend we're them.
Its 2021 and if u put this song at a party every drunk and passed out person automatically starts doing the Russian folk kick on the dancefloor.
The girls look so cute in their little outfits 😍
is it weird that I like this song just as a song?
No.
I like it as BOTH a song & history lesson
Nos morimos se acaba elmundl gracias
Great song
Rasputin - Fajny hit grupy Boney M.😁😁😁
THANK YOU
took me some time to find this video again. great video and amazing song. I remember i wrote school assigment on them. they had a bit of info of the group on their cd.
6 years before I was born. Class.
Aunque dicen que Bobby farrell no cantaba sino hacia lipsync no cabe duda que era escencial en la imagen del grupo cualquiera reconocia que era Boney m si Farrell era el frontman
So beautiful ladies!!!💋My favorite band!👍👍👍
Can't believe tik toc is messing with this classic 70's track
I LOVE THIS SONG,IS ALL OVER TIK TOK.
The Indians have ruined this song.
How is he able to sing and dance without sounding out of breath? Amazing talent! I doubt it's lip syncing.
Cause, it's never his voice ! He simply mimed the vocal, originally done by Frank Farian , the producer of Boney M. Whatsoever , his energy is beyond anyone's catch ..
Great performer ' Bobby Ferrell ' ..
@@agnivachakraborty2486 the scandal of it all is Frank became the producer and mastermind of mini vanilli, in a another universe Bony M and Mini Vanili is a actual group with bangers in their careers
That was lipsynch. It's the record version.
