I think I’ve inadvertently become a fan of Dschinghis Kahn<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n

The group made the rounds on the internet around 2-3 years ago. You may remember “Those scary russian dancing power rangers types” singing about Moscow.<\/p>\n

Someone has actually managed to track down the entire performance from the Eurovision Song Contest in 1979 and post it to Youtube.<\/p>\n

Two interesting facts… The prominent blonde in the group is named Strobel<\/i> the bald guy is named Bender. Bender appears about 25 years later<\/a> in a performance of the song in a live concert with the group, “The Legacy of Dschinghis Kahn” which is basically the equivalent of a sanctioned continuation of the old group with only one or two of the members. (Think: The New Seekers)<\/p>\n

The 25 yr link is worth it. They have a Bellagio-esque fire show during the song.<\/p>\n

I’d be tempted to get 5 other people together and take this mess to Burning man.<\/p>\n
