Rasputin Lyrics
Artist: Boney M.
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 ecstacy 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
(Spoken:)
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
(Spoken:) Oh, those Russians...

I love this song! Turisas makes it sound sooooo much better....but the movie with Snape in it really gets me.....He plays as sexy Rasputin. XD
The Boney M. for these times, is very boring, Immortal, But you should try to listen Turisas´ Rasputin, It really rocks!
udontmind, esta canción es la historia/descripción de RasputÃn! Busca su biografÃa
it's a great song and has a deep meaning who will repeat in all time and place
JIJI I LOVE THIS SONG AND ISTRUE IT REALLY HAS A DEEP MEANING THE PEOPPLE SHOULD RED A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, AH SORRY FOR MY ENGLIHS IM JUST LEARNING IT
RA RA RASPUTIN
OHHHHH!those BoneyM.
it really seems difficult to the singers nowadays to reach a certain level than the 80's ones
I grown within the end of the last century and i know what the feeling of the music is .so poor new singers,you'll never be famous as those seventies and 80's ones.sorry for that and for this declaration.
Gotta love the bassline. Same goes for most boney m tracks.
l
amazing song.. the tunes great
Turisas did a cover of this song on their album Varangian Way, and it pretty much kicks ass. Listen to it if you get a chance.
this is the greatest song ever
This song rulez and ten u even got ma baker
boney m rulez
I love this song
lovee this song although i don't really understand it. my mom introduced it to me.loveeeee itttt

the best song ever - eurovision winner for sure
Probably my all-time favorite song...
I ADORE this sooooooo much!!
:)
Really catchy and visual, i can almost visualise the whole story pretty easily, though was this really true?
i really love this song especially when it first came out. i even seen the movie about the real rasputin a few years ago, my what a skeemer,one of boney m's best songs
I love both versions. The original by Boney M and the newer one by Turisas. :D
catchy song and lyrics. its like listening to a song and historical story at the same time.
This song is just great...it makes me smile when I'm sad...Boney M are a legend!
don't be sorry,Abed from Marocco,you'r right.
nobody will remember these new bullshit singers ( most of them not all of them), after 1 year
sounds good, but hard to hear all of the words
TURISAS's version is AMAZING! I LOVE THAT SONG!
Heard it in history class. LOL FOR RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.
Turisas' version is better
i had this at my party, everyone was going crazy

Bravo, all your songs are superb
Ah.. Gotta love that song.
Turisas's Rasputin is amazing.
Legendary track....they don't make them like they use to.
Especially with the album "night flight to venus" intro.
easy to remmber..history class about russia...watched history, Rasputin is for real!
Boney M were the best, and this song was one of their best. who cares if the lyrics don't match the history?!!!
i love the battle metal version 2 this song and rasputin is a fucking legend gotta love the lyrics
really perfect song! :D:D:
lyrics which blow the mind
i love this song and i love all boney.m and oldies songs ,,,,,,,
I´m almost happy

i luv dis song!!!!!! i cudnt stop listenin!!! n for all da ppl who dint like it...............................shut up n listen to it again!
Russians ftw ! :)))
i love it!
oh, those russians! hehe
you're the one boney m
Nah nic, Turisas is the one. Their cover blew boney m's out of the water.
Come on, how come TURISAS, I know they play well but the original version belongs to Boney M. and is GREAT.
I think it really happened as the song said so.
It really happened as the song said so but he was still alive and then they push him in the river to finally kill him.
boneym is only and one band that produced such magnetic power in music
Turisas's and Boney M's versions are quite different, I enjoy them separately. Nice song, however
Nothing better than the original.
And the original is this!
i love this song a lot its amazing
this is not the real story.
I will narrate u guys the true story when we meet in hell.
Terrible and mocking lyrics!Only stupid people, who don't mind the meaning (or don't know English) would like the song.
The tune is catchy, but Rasputin was a little, wimpy monk who got kicked out of the court and then assasinated. He never had an affair with Alexandra, and he did not "heal" Alexei. [Plus, the capital of russia was not Moscow; in 1916, it was St. Petersburg.]
Boney M does a beauty in this song. It is an all time great.The disco treatment to the historical piece is amazing
verry great!but those power boney M areto hard to understand in this song.I like the rythm!A party dance with my people under 26!Amazing!
lol this song is okay but chicken poo is nicer
This song's too good......I have been hearing this for the past 10 years now.....its awesome....
I'm Rasputin, this is not my true story. Frank Farian, the producer of the song did not say the trueth : he was the singer!!!!!
"This is the story of my Baker, the meanest cat in old CHICAGO town."
I invit you to discover MY BAKER the other best song of boney M
I love this song!
I am gonna buy it.
for ne1 not clear...ther was a Russian man called Rasputin...he was an evil scheming bastard..or at least thats what most of the world thought. So, the Tzar or Russia invited him to a party, where he was poisoned, clubbed shot numerous times, and stabbed. After ALL THAT he survived but died years later of old age.
this song is awesome.....i jus love it.....
no you suck
I'm decended from rasputin. I'm kidding.
rocks!
esta chida la rolilla por que es real lo q dice ........

BONEY M ROXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Turisas' version is awesome. Great song, but credit should go to this guy, he wrote it, after all.
i prefer the turisas version
Turisas version is realy great!
Only one comment: this charming song was forbidden in Hungary in the 70s. (Even Boney M was not allowed to mock our former Big Russian Brother, the Soviet Union). It was the same with Beatles'song Back in USSR.
Oh, those communists!
Such a cool song!
ras-putin!
this song is fucking great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice song!!!
Both versions have their magic...this one is just so catcy, and the Turisas version has the power of metal...love both of them!
Ahh yes, Turisas version so much better I think. Saw em live at southampton guildhall, they had the entire mosh pit on their feet :D
was a best song in 70's.))
I love it! it reminds me of my friend Turmus blati :)
Signed
Korba
Oh Immortal! You're fuckin' lame.

this song reminds me of 29years passed of my age
when i was at the university mohamed ben abdellah in fes morocco
i apreciate also ma baker brown girls in the rain ....etc
The cover by Turisas so much better than orignal
THIS IS A TREND SETTER SONG I MAY REGARD IT REVOLUTIONARY SONG
MANY MANY YEARS ITS LYRICS AND TONE WILL RULE OVER THE HEARTS OF MUSIC AND POETRY LOVER
STILL THIS SONG IS AS FRESH AS IT WAS
It's just superb! Boney M rules)))Fuck me, when I hear it I wanna dance)
It's iz the the greatest song in ze vorld and is the also the based on the truen story you know this the yes;
really one of the best... but the facts all wrong..., but i still love it!!!!

This song has nice lyrics and also excellent meaning as well good music.
Really I enjoyed a lot while listening this song.
I'M SUCH A HISTORY BUM :')
i love this song
(LLLLLLLLLL)!
oh those russians...LOL
this song is simply awesome, we can learn the whole story of rasputin!!!!
nem értetek ti a zenéhez Boney M nagyon jo zenéket csinál
Fuck Russian .... American always the best>>>>> 4 Ever!!!!
Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen! LMAO
Its a fantastic song
Oh, those Russians...
hah. Learning about this fella in history now. Im gonna listen to this song before my next test!
this is a great song i dont know y they r not popular anymoer
This song is so bloody great. I love listening to it over and over again
History is nothing... but the LIFE!!!!!! The reality is hidden under our thoughts...
Boney you are a blessing to the world
You can be all down and out, depressed and even dieing... UNTIL YOU HEAR THIS SONG !!!!!!! :D
This song is amazing it really lifted my spirit
its a lovely song...rasputin was a pastor kind of guy with some special healing abilities since his childhood....also had a weakness for women and was loved by the russian queen...the czar was a puppet...queen did was rasputin told her to do....soon some men of higher standing realised it and so did away with rasputin....though after multiple attempts.....he survived over 5 such attempts...
yeaya this song is pretty darn awesome.... the Turisas version is no where near as cool and funky as the original!
turisas version sucks compared to this version... it just doesn't have the rockin' beat!
jejej tiene su gracia

god damn, this song is so great.
The song is really good. To bad it's all just nonesence! Rasputin was poisoned in his bread, the shot in the head, then tied up and thrown into the river! And he was no lover of the russian queen! she hated him!
LOVEEEE ITTTTTTTTTT
like it and I'm a big fan of DISCO music! the original is the best IMO
Shut the fuck up with this turisas shit already!
Jajaja
Hi guys.
Yes, it is a great song and it is factually true story. Rasputin, he was a real bastard. Born in a peasant family he went from Sybiria and became the best friend of the Russian tsar's family (I am not sure if he was a queen's lover, may be it was just a rumor, but thousands of women were crazy about him). Pretending to be a prophet and having big influence on the queen (as a healer he was curing her son tsarevich Alexey) he started to intervene in state affairs. He was one of the dramatic examples of the degradation of the Russian monarchy in the beginning of the 20th century. No wonder that eventually the Revolution came in 1917.
Good luck,
From Russia with love :)
OMG I just listened to the Turisas version and it doesn't compare in anyway to Bonny M. Sad to see a classic song like this wrecked in such a manner. Take the time to listen to Bonny M and u will understand what real music is all about. And for those who ask if the story is real...yes it is a true story.. look it up...like all stories it may not be 100% accurate but that's what makes a legend a legend....Take the bible as a perfect example.
this song is awsome, just got into it
Da Turisas version is 100000000 times faster and better
great song!!
1 of da most amazing songs ever heard! da lyrics r so true ! thanks boney m fr creating such a magical song!
Turisas sucks ass, it is the worst band ever
this song rocks!
This song makes me dream, I like it a lot
this song is amazing stuoud
i like it sia!!!!!!
yo,men, this song is really cool. I can say,that there are not so many good remakes but Turisas - rules)) *Rasputin died in the river*
*the capital of Russia in 1916 was St.Petersburg*
*uchite russkiy)))*
OH, WHAT DO THEY WANT OF "THOSE RUSSIANS"???
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen !!
=D <3 this song
Immortal you are the one who does suck.
This song is one of the greatest song of all .This when music used to be music Einstein.
It is not like this crap rap they have now
Big heart for Boney M.! Cool song, and it's the glider dance song, which also helps with the awesomeness factor! It's so catchy.
i just luv this one....
Songs like this help me to learn english. I never forget vocabularys when I take them out of lyrics. Each time when I hear the song again I remember every word, even when I´m drunk. Thank you for submitting the lyrics!!!

greatest album ever,boney u rockkkkk!!!!!!!
THIS SON REALLY ROCKS.........
SONG IS VERY NICE
Hey MusicLover who commented on 1/30/2009, I'm not a religious man, but did you just draw a direct analogy between Boney M's song about Rasputin and ... the Bible? Just checking. :-P
wow, the crap people write about crap. seriously, it amazes me. -sigh-
Real good song
meow
this was a very good song and historical resources....go boney m!!!
who cares if the history is acurate, and fatboyfat it czar not tzar!!!! stpd ?)
What did the cat have to do with Rasputin. Was it a cat or catch?
it is rocking dude
the best song ever..
y on earth dd i attent ma history class.cld hv jus hrd dis song!
russian revl.is a real crap
oh really those russians were great
Who tha f*ck was Rasputin ?
Just listened to the Turisas version. It's hecticly insanely awesome. Like both versions. But must say. the Turisas version kicks ass. And reason the songs is still alive after so many years is because of ppl like Turisas doing a cover. And if you wanna know who Rasputin is. Google :) and wiki at the end. It might help
This is the greatest song ever written!!! Although the Turisas version is jammin
DUDES, listen anybody who says this song sucks, hes an ass whole, and hes the one who sucks
I love this song, RA RA RASPUTIN!!
I really love this song, it's not exactly accurate but it's fun and close enough!
RA RA RASPUTIN!
Great song, I loved it!
(It can be czar or tzar, by the way. It's not exactly accurate - Rasputin was poisoned and shot, and died of drowning!)
Fucking great song
Will Live forevr :)
Bhai gaana bahut faad hai.......... Really amazing song man..........
this music is exageratted and says too much bad things about him, rasputin wasnt how this music says he was.. He meant much more for the history of Russia, he really cured alexis, the czar son, and he wasnt the queens lover
i love this song, we studied Russia and this is good :)
"lover of the russian queen" haha love it.
atu jua inda agat~agat kali ah~ghaya banar subutu nya..buat utinnya!!
Ps.bek kamu baca ni comment ku ah.ahahah
You can't find songs with such lovely lyrics these days.
wonderful song
Truly one of the greatest bad lyrics ever. But the music was very danceable back in 1978. Maybe MJ_KING should learn to use Google or Wikipedia
crrazzzzyyyy song!!!
good song
i lovey this band and all its songs. They sang for all real matters and stories..... Like rasputin, ma baker, belfast.....
elakiri sinduwa
which movie was tht...i guess it wud be interesting...does anybody knows...?
Te explico la letra o te la traduzco???
La explicación es muy simple trata sobre la historia de un supuesto santurrón ruso de inicios del S XX que se metió en la corte de Nicolas II (el último zar ruso) puesto que prometía curar la enfermadad del principe... la canción se queda con el lado más sórdido y se refiere a que era amante de la Zarina y de sus hijas... Y que influenció al gobierno de Rusia pro un lado que no gusto a los nobles ni al propio zar y le envenenaron.
This version sucks. the turisas version is better.
Remembering those great days once again.......
There is a secret message embaded in this song
MO MO MOM MOMIN
lover of the beauty Queens
There was a cat that really was gone
MO MO MOM MOMIN
bengal's greatest love machine
It's a pride how he moving on
***** Just fall in love with the song....
omg i was learning about the russian revolution and about rasputin in history and i thought the name sounded familiar.
And then i listened to the song and read the lyrics, and omg it is so true.
oh ! what a song! !!!
TURISAS!!! LISTEN THE TURISAS VERSION!!!
really this song made me to look other songs........
One of the Big hits of BoneyM
One of the Big hits of Boney M
great great great!!! I love this song soooo much!!!! Turisas version is indeed better, but the original is easier to understand (my native language is not english)
gr8 song
i grew up listening to that song and in my opinion will always be used to boney m's version in my head. so to each it's own.
great song
I'd forgotten about this until I was doing a project for Uni on the Romanovs, every time I even see the name Rasputin I think of this song, mind you, all of Boney M's songs are infectious. Oh, and GaGa TOTALLY ripped it off. Ra Ra Ra Romance indeed...
Rasputin, what an oddball song. But it is also one of my favourites.
Anyone who thinks Turisas's version is better has no taste in music. This is a classic. Îõ òå Ðóññêèå!
The 1st comment, 'Immortal' sucks. He wasnt born when the song was written, he would have appreciated it.
fantastic
Classic from the 70s..
ITZ NOT BAD....SINCE ITZ CLASSY,A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SONGS....AND THAT IMMORTAL SAID THE SONG SUCKS...AT LEAST THEY MADE A SONG.....CAN U IMMORTAL?
TURISAS SUCK,WE GAVE HIM THE RIGHTS CAUSE WE ARE POOR NOW.
I LOVE this song!!!
My Mum introduced me to Boney M and I am HOOKED on them.
This is my favourite song of theirs.
I have the original music video and I try and copy Bobby Farrell's dancing!!
He is awesome!!!
No one can dance better than Bobby!!
hey IMMOTAL go Fcuk ur self...
respet music ass bag....
no 1 say da songs sucks 2 a gud 1....
ny wy my intentions ws 2 sy fuck off immortal....
nd heres it..
HEY IMORTAL FUCK OFF MAN....
Ra Ra Rasputin
Russia' Greatest love machine
I just love this song :)
this song is amazing any one says it sucks fuck u russia is my mother land
Does anybody knows why Boney M wrote a song for a Russian monk?Isn't that quiet strange?
i love the song!!!
it s wonderful, that remind me my tweeties
i luv thizz song
I bigwupasta!
I bigwupasta!
not bad
..........and those black girls are the sexiest in the world. I love them. It's a pitty they have stopped singing and settled dowm! Damn it!
Pure cult...
The song of the epoch, suffice to say. The Cold War drawing to weakening of USSR's informational barrier and, thus, Russia becoming a subject for the art. Another sample is Dschingis Khan's Moskua.
But this song's sort of "story" is but Germans' impotent rage about their country being divided on two parts, and by not less than those "drunk barbarians who live with bears in neighborhood", daring to govern Aryans lives for 3+ decades after their defeat in WWII.
And, Krauts are definitively twisted minded around the point of "love".
the most gr8 song ever
the song have 2 axis and one Terminal knif ,,,, its really a mazing any way ... i think that it just redirected to indicate a bad ideas about russian ,,,
rusiia has its great culture ,,,
if you listen to the song carefully you can finde the truth ,,,,, any way its BERFECT
This song should win an Oscar!
This is all a lie, Rasputin was never lover ofthe queen and stuff, i can prove it (well, maybe he was a little partyman but most of the song is just for fun, no truth.
Coolios xD
I just lost the game :C
Awes
i m a student of history litreature & i was glad to hear this rasputin song it realy helped me in xams of russian history
Thanks for posting this. I love Boney M. Great song. When my daughter was about 9 she loved it.
When I heard Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' I wondered if she was influenced by 'Rasputin.'
Raputin is really amazing n evergreen song.
this song very cool, my boyfriend like it!!!
Yes, this is a true story, except he was poisioned, shot, stabbed, bludgeoned and then drowned, although there is no certainty stating that he was actually killed, as his body was never found. I wrote a paper in grade 9 on him.
i like this song like anything...tune and the dance is really superb no one can imitate
great song... and still popular :))

On December 30, 2010, it was announced that Bobby Farrell, BM's live singer, had passed away at the age of 61 from heart failure. There are reports he had complained of breathing problems before and after a show on Wednesday. Farrell lived in Amsterdam until his death. The singer was found dead in a hotel room in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where he had been performing. Coincidentally, Farrell died on the anniversary of Grigori Rasputin's death, also in St. Petersburg!!!!!

I love this song just like Moscow chicks loved Rasputin.
I like playing this on Just Dance 2
haha he truly was the lover of teh russian queen and they really shot him dead but i dont get the part about the cat
This song is vlasfemy, the last King and whole his family were martyrs! And the Rasputin's story is not as it presented!
ps: I'm not russian.
this is just awesome. RIP bobby
I love this song!!! <3 <3 <3 (: it's my new favorite!!!
i luv this song!
its the best on just dance 2!
It seems to me that there are no more singers like before! Boney M is great like the 'dinosaur's of rock and roll
Dio Geo you get the idea.
Can kill all who think that Rasputin was the lover and Moscow chicks loved him too. Hey, what you really know about Russian history? Nothing I suspect. Then sit down and shut up.
Dio Geo you're deadly right. And others.. Learn the Russian history before saying that Moscow chicks loved him. Think that song's true? Shut up please.
I love this song! The Romanovs (the royal family) called him Father Grigory. The Romanov heir to the throne, Alexei, had a medical condition called hemophilia which was, and still is, uncurable. Alexandra, the tsar's wife and Alexei's mother, thought that Rasputin had healing powers. In his photograph, Rasputin is really creepy-looking.
I like this song, very fantastic and danceable..
This song made me lol.
This song is stupid. I mean, who wants to listen to a song about someone dyeing?!?!?!?!
i first heard this song on just dance 2 it was hilarious i love the dance to it
i 2 like but nt understoo
best song EVER to dance to on just dance 2! :)))))
It took me back to 33 years ago
hey this song is superb i want to live life like rusputin
Im 14 and this song is already one of my all time favourites
Love this song
Sat in music.. reading lyrics.. :D
no doubt, its better than many sonds.
Great sonr, I really enjoyed listening to it fro when I first heard it. Read the last two lines of the second verse. There's some true history there.
Boney M was superb! This is one of my favourites. I also love Bahama Mamma, Rivers of Babylon, Brown Girl in the Ring, Horay Horay It's a Holi-Holiday...
I love how this song refers to the Rasputin in Russian history...
You may not realize this,
but this song is about a real man named RASPUTIN that had control of queen Alexandria (czarina of Russia)
she believed he could cure her son from hemophilia and so she gave him power
but the people didnt like this so they killed him
it really is a great song with an actul true story behind it
This is one of the best song ever, from the best group ever, and its almost thrue. The real reason of his death is his request (becose he had big controlon royalty family) for making peas between Rusia and Germany in the llWW. In that case Britany would lost by Germany wery soon widout Rusia help. So British oficirs killed him.
One of the best song ever from the best group ever, and is almost completly thru( exept Rusian capital was St. Peternsburg).
i love this song it was a big success since...
I love this song and I am only 10! Bony M is so cool I love to dance to the song because I know the dance. I understand the song really well and oh man that is true!
i just danced to this song on the wii and it was really crazy, i wanteed to give up but my friend kept saying "Again! Again!' sigh :p

Me and my friend love this song! Even though it's based on something serious, It's so cool! And on Just ance II it's so tempting to do it again, and again, and again... These lyrics give me the chance to sing along!!

i love all boney m songs i know!
Although most people like my songs the best, this is pretty good. Go, my little monsters, tell more of this song!
I love the story in this song its great
we like this song very much. but it will take a long time to us to understand this song.
i like all story songs and for me this song was great superhit.
He didn't die from getting shot. They poisoned him, stabbed him, shot him, and then they wrapped him in a tarp and threw him in a river, they found his body, out of the tarp, on the shore. He manages to climb out after all those wounds and got onto the land before he finally succumbed to his wounds. I also think I'm forgetting one or two things they did. To be honest, he was like the Russian Mussolini.
Real legend of a song. Shame Boney man died. RA RA RASTUPIN LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEN, LOL
Just Dance 2
OMG! LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!

if Thomas thinks going to do it with me every night to this song he can go to hell. But I do love Boney M and his songs so I will probably chose another one instead
Wonderful song. ;P I should show this to my russian boy. Heheh! Love this song so much!
this song make me to feel good and make me to remember d oddies
i have been listening this since my childhood & it still rox. such a soothing melody
i love this song but i cant do the dance to it on just dance 2
All you history nuts, the capital at the time was Petrograd, not St Petersburg, and it's spelt TSAR.
RA RA RASPUTIN haha This song ROCKS, in Just Dance 2, this is my favorite song :)
This guy was REAL and horrible but i LLLOOOVVVE the song
I love the song and the bloke himself wasn't as bad as he was made to be by the jelousy of the Russian Nobles who got what they deserved afterwards.
I love this song and I love dancing to it on just dance 2 on wii
So cool :D But he's was a lover of Czar.
I real like this song even though i'm 18 now! but i do apreciate it.
rasputin was dynamite.
We cant stop listening to this fucking kick ass song, rasputin shagged all sorts of wee dirties and drank vodka while riding a camel, up the fucking rasputin.
IMMORTAL YOU A FAGGOT NO? FUCKIN HIPSTER CAPITALISTIC FACIST PIIGG
what does "there was a cat that really was gone" mean? pliss
I love this song, its so catchy. But playing it on Just Dance 2 is hard!
well all of you tht is sayin the story is wrong and moscoe wasnt the capital and everything else why does it matter it was simply the artists interpretation of the matter stop being twats
REALLY SUPERB!I AM LUCKY TO HEAR THIS...
I can,t belive you said that this socks.
I'm pretty sure this song is based off a real person for those wondering. For anyone who is certain I'm wrong, sorry.
he didnt die by getting shot, shooting him didnt work. He was drowned in a river
Great song, although not totally accurate. Rasputin lived in St Petersburg, and it was unlikely that he was the lover of the Tsarina - she was a very, pious, religous woman. On the night of his death, Rasputin was poisoned, shot, beaten up, and he still managed to make a run for it, and almost got away. They then chained his arms behind his back, weighed him down with chains, wrapped him a rug, and dumped him in the frozen river. When they found his body, he had managed to free his hands, and there was water in his lungs - he had drowned.
Three months later, the Tsarist government collapsed
outstanding song Boney M always great
I <3 THIS SONG!!!!!
dis song is so deesgawst you uneducated americans are so overweight
<3<3<3<3<3 luv it sooooo much! my #1 song to dance to when im on the wii just dance 2! COOLIO ALL THE WAY!

Damn good ever green song...
epic
this is the best................
This song is lovely... i remember that i had danced for this song when i was small in school...
Feel sad that such a lovely song has been duplicated in bollywood
I love this song. I only learned this from my sister and my cousin dancing to it in Just Dance 3. We all know, well some, about how rasputin died. Many do believe he was a holy man, to some just to how long his beard was XD
But also, it is very rare for singers such as Boney, to capture its history about a man and sing it very nice.
We are learning about him in world history!! haha
boney m was great.i want to meet them but know that it's impossible.this song really great compared to those of michael jackson.
This song hmmmm I'm also passing to the next generation starting with my children
it is to remind us of a man , who did wonderful things, and we still have not mastered it. we just fear everything we don't understand.
THIS SONG FUCKING ROCKS
THIS SONG IS THE BEST THAT'S EVER BEEN MADE!!! I wanna be Raputin when I grow up!!!!
REALLY PATHETIC,....... BUT BONEY M.. REALLY ITS A ROCKING PRESENTATION
This is the best song to dance to on just dance 3!
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This isn't just a song. This is a story of a man who used his mind to walk over his similars and make them slaves only 'cause their ignorance. " If you believe enough others will believe on you". GREAT SONG. GREAT MUSICIANS.
LOVE THEM.
awesome....
lets dance like a mad men..
I like the music!
Story of a MADman from Russia!
this is great. i love just dance 2.
R.I.P bobby
it's really awesome
This song is possibly the best the Boney M could offer the world at the time... and it was a success!
I Love this songs
LOL I was singing this song with my friend on chat one day and she says "WTF? Why are we singing?!" That was an awesome day.
This is honestly one of my favourite songs! Helps a bit for History HAHAH :)
no, you're absolutely right. he didnt die until he drowned, they probably just said they shot him because the didnt want the song to go on for like 20 minutes lol:P
this was great. I Love Russians
dont matter what! hear this and dance my butt off just like little boney man! lol x mint x
We are so... ;)
Like this song!
i love these song and she mean a lot of things i realise is nothing semms like it semms
Pedaso de cancion mitica
Me encanta
Aunq al carajo rusia !
All-time I love this
Hahahahahahahaha... Those Russians are a crazy bunch, but that Rasputin was one tough SoB
I asked my mum the story of rasputin today and she try to tell me it so my sister and she told me to read the lyrics of the song so i did. Now i understand the story of rasputin. People think he is bad but i don't see why they hate him. Ohhh those russians!
oh thou russia
czar? i think you mean tsar
I wanna know about the story.....love this song...My father's favourite!!!!
Got to be the catchiest balalaika riff in town, and that bassline, the whole infectious groove, and great story make this one of my favourites. Love it
Rasputin wasn't Alexandrias lover, he lived in the palace to use medicine on Tsars son who had haemophilia (though this wasn't publicised due to the war and the Tsar and Tsarina didn't want their son at risk) BOOM
great song..
This is the first song of Boney M that I heard i my karate sir's FM Radio! Love other songs of Boney M like rivers of Babylon, daddy cool, and Ma Baker.
best song ...............
i dont have words to sat
This song is about a Russian healer that healed the Czarinas son from a blood disorder. She believed he was amazing at that point. So she let him take some control of russia. He took advantage of that and made a lot of people mad. So someone tried to poisen him. It didn't work. So they shot him until he was dead. I learned this in school and my teacher showed my class this song.
Great song! You're all in for a treat next week if you keep voting me! Hint Hint
<3 This song is not even annoying but so catchy!
nice song
KAK: Except Rasputin never used medicine. He was a man of God, not of science. He calmed the hemophiliac Tsarevich down, which slowed the rate of the bleeding, but no medicine was ever used (only words). DOUBLE BOOM!
This song rocks..
Bobby you are a legend..Peace from Egypt to all Boney M fans ♥
Those song has nothing with the real history.
I LOVE this song!:)
Rusputin's entire story in a nutshell.. Well told by boney..kudos
What a nice song! It makes me feel nostalgic! Farewell to Bobby!
nice song i like it <3 <3 <3
Really catchy song:)
Best of BONEY M ,I LIKE SO MUCH.
Anyone who says this song sucks. U WANNA WAT I THINK OF U WELL U SUCK DONKEY BALLS. That is all
Russia!
From Hetalia!
*squeeeeeeeeee!!*
*goes off dancing and singing* Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Lover of the Russian Queen...There was a cat that really was gone...~
Seriously, though, WTF is with the cat bit? Randomness, lol
Funny lyrics, though if I may have a moment of pedantry; Rasputin's actual cause of death was drowning after they poisoned him, shot him, beat him to within an inch of his life, wrapped him in a rug and tossed him into a river. Strangely enough they had found that one arm had wriggled free.
As for the song, which I haven't actually heard, I'm neutral about it. I just looked at it for the lyrics.
why do people think that this song should reflect history??????? go learn history from a history book- geez it's just a song, and it's awesome
*Tsar
This song is just embarrassing rubbish, as is everything by Boney M - one of the most cringingly contrived "bands" of all time. Dreadful, stupid lyrics, and just beyond awful. ANYONE who thinks this song is even slightly impressive has NO taste in music whatsoever.
Anyone who thinks this song is good has NO taste in music and/or - like Boney M themselves - a rather poor command of the English language.
Wunderbar Boney M!!!
You have to know your russian history to appreciate the song. I love it. Nice upbeat and tells a true story.
AWESOME! REALLY GREAT!
nice song but why a caribian team sings a Russian story
Nice song...ek dum mast
Ohhh those Russians~
What a great song with great music
i <3 this song
it is a very saitric song through which rasputins rude ness is seen and yes it is our lesson
this is a very neat song i like it
İ'm this songs love machine
This was one of the only things that I had to listen to as a child. I love this song.
Wow..... there are no words.
awesome song I love it
A Great Song, evergreen, listening to this over a decade, still it's green
listen to the turisas version
it sucks
I love this song and Russia.....
Great song! :D
Okay, fuck Turisas :| This is the original BoneyM version. Metal is a perfectly good genre of music, I enjoy some myself, but this is not Turisas' version. Shut up, people.
Also, how come 90% of the commenters here have the apparent spelling and grammer skill of a five year-old? Ugh.
And lastly, fuck you patriots. I am American and I can honestly say, FUCK America. It has become a shitty county of repetitive rap 'music' and people with the attention span and originality of a goldfish. I'd rather be Canadian or Russian. Love you, Europe, Canada and Russia; continue being the wonderful countries you are. America, shape up :|
Complaints and Grievances aside, this is a very nice, catchy song that spurred me to explore yet another fascinating piece of Russia's history.
Become one, da?
Rasputin, i very much like.
Silly lyrics, great music
This song is very fantastic one of the Hit song of bony m , this song is very popular in all over world, all bony m songs are good and many songs are over Hit,
great song!!!! i love it
Love this song! Really rox! never mind the czar.....they shot him till he was dead, it's amazing, a true classic
Listen to a version by TURISAS!
I love this song ,its the coolest song i have ever heard. but those Russians.
love this song. perfect for revision for AS Modern History, Russia in WW1
Hello everybody from hell!
This song was forbidden to play on discos and radios in Hungary (Eastern-Europe) during the '80s. It was told that it hurted Russians and so the Soviet Union as well.
ore bhai...(boney m) ki gan gaili re...matha to purai awlaia gelo.
vallagse re vallagse...
Boney M is by FAR one of THE WORST "bands" of the last 70 years - fabricated by German 'entrepreneur' Frank Farian; made up of no-talent singers and delivering the worst in contrived, disposable rubbish 'pop' songs with naff, cheesy arrangements and cringingly embarrassing lyrics. If you can even STOMACH them or their songs, you either have (a) cloth ears (b) very poor comprehension/understanding of the English language (c) no taste in music whatsoever. They released 4 songs which constitute crimes against music. Rasputin, Ma Baker, Rivers Of Babylon and Brown Girl In The Ring - the latter of which is a West Indian children's song - which, ironically, is indicative of the only audience/mentality deserving of this bunch of completely talentless charlatans. If there was every an act worthy of obscurity, this is most definitely it. The fact that there are people who like their music is simply testament to how many no-taste, clueless clowns there are out there...
Grigory Rasputin was n great man trying to help others. His assasianation was a mistake. He will come back and haunt everyone who mocks him.
I love this song and i love BoneyM
Superb AMV :)
