I am russian and such song insults me. Rasputin was very vicious man, who practically ruled last years before Great October Revolution. He is a good sample, how rotten Tsarist Russia was. In Russian Rasputin means profligate, satyr, debauchee, whoremonger. So his surname was speaking.
Also, we russians, sing it so: "Ra-ra-rasputin, ty pizdyuk i sukin syn" (bastard and son of the bitch)
@Motaro76 Excuse me, but I believe the word "pizdyuk" translates as "cunt" (in the sense of a person, male, rather than the name of the female organ, from which it's derived). Normally, "bastard" (in the sense of character, rather than birth) is translated by "svoloch" (soft "ch" at the end, as in "cheese").
For the uninitiated, the stress is on the second syllable in "piz-dyuk" and on the first syllable in "svo-loch."
The English term is "son of *A* bitch," by the way.

What. The. Frag. Rasputin. Then again, when a bunch of angry Russians are trying to kill someone and it takes them more than five seconds, you know that guy is badass.
@terentii I meant that since his assassins were not incompetent, Rasputin's surviving for so long despite a bunch of angry Russian guys using several different methods to kill him was quite remarkable. I apologize if you could not understand my comment, but I don't find yours very amusing.
@TheDefenestratrix This didn't cure Alexei's condition, of course (hemophelia, as you probably know, is a genetic disorder), but it certainly made it better. This impressed the hell out of Empress Alexandra (never the sharpest tool in anyone's box) and gave Razzy complete control over her and her husband, and thus the entire Russian Empire.
In medical parlance, this is sort of doctoring is known as "Blind Fool Luck"! :-D
@TheDefenestratrix Do you know how Rasputin gained such power over the royal family? Alexei's doctors had been treating him for hemophelia with aspirin, considered a "wonder drug" at the turn of the last century. Of course, we know now that aspirin is an anticoagulent (i.e., a blood thinner) and served only to exacerbate his condition.
What was the first thing Razzy did when he was called in to treat Alexei? Take him off all standard drugs, including aspirin!
@LIP3XGunner okay, i admit i suddenly said that because someone said to me that the original is "weak" and turistas made it "listenable"... anyway.. you're right.
hey I am trying to find a video that I saw awhile back, but cant seem to remember its title. It was a bunch of people, I thought they were acting as were actually russian, but they dressed in goofy clothes and danced to this song. It was an actual music video though...not just regular people messing around with a camera. Help please, I am dying for a great laugh and I just remembered this song when I was dancing to it on Just Dance 2 on my wii...Thanks
That dude that just died, he never actually sang on any of the Boney M recordings. It was the voice of Frank Farian, the producer who in the 80's produced Milli Vanilli, and we all know what happened there.
@retroexplosion1 he did sing on some songs, and sang live a lot. back in the day, it was actually quite common in pop music to have frontmen like that.
Ah.... Bobby you are also gone after Micheal.... this is a huge blow to pop music. You have really given this world ever-lasting and ever green songs.. RIP
rest in peace, never liked disco that much but obviously he's a legend. 32 years ago sang this song about Rasputin who died in Saint Petersburg, now Bobby died in the same city.
Their 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 extasy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher Woman 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.

The words are basically quite correct! A tragic downfall for a guy who had done so much.... but I did see a documentary on this.. and the rumours his murders cut parts of his anatony off have been proved false! Turned out to be a sea ananome (don't think I've spelt that right!) Great song! Great group!
@PeanutOgMajs8D How do you know? xD I saw my teacher dancing this song in Just dance 2 hahahaha... and I like the part where it says "ra ra rasputin lover of the russian queen..."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
WTF??? They used a melody from a Ottoman Turkish song that is atleast 130 years old: "Üskudara Gideriken" search for it on youtube. What a disgrace to use this traditional song in a way like this.
I love the fact that this guy was never able to sing like this and everything was playback , huh I really tried to convince myself its not true but it is T.T
