Hey, you know I heard that song in a club in St. Petersburg, Russia this past summer. They find it pretty amusing over there. Also, just so you know, the word "Towarisch" (read with the German pronunciation of "w") means "Comrade" in Russian. No music video, however, can compare to the Romanian pop sensation O-Zone's "Dragostea Din Tei." http://mapage.noos.fr/martialro/ozone/video.html (I find the homoerotic tension between the three singers to be particularly amusing). If you want a 95MB mpeg of it, send me an e-mail ayeats at haverford with the appropriate top-level-domain for an educational institution in the US.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of Euro-pop, you should also check out Gunther's "Ding Dong Song" which has the chorus "Uuuhhhh! You touch my tra-la-la!" http://www.funnyheck.com/gunther.html

If you'd like to know more about Dschinghis Khan please visit our website www.dschinghis-khan.de. Unfortunately only in German so far, but we're working on it.

As for the song "Moskau" or "Moscow": It's not meant to be sarcastic at all. The song was intended to accompany the 1980 Olympic Games in the capital of the then UdSSR but didn't make it there because of the boycot of the Games by the Western nations due to the Russians invasion in afghanistan.

It is a song to show the brighter sides of Russian life and has no political intention whatsoever.

Hope I could help you. Jo Beyer

Does anyone have any information if the song is actually composed by the band or if it could be a trad. Russian folksong or something, as it sounds really slavic...

WHERE CAN I GET AN MP3 OF THIS SONG ONLINE? I NEEED IT.

There's actually an english version of this song out there because I had it at one time. I lived in germany for a few years and people adore this song. it's a HUGE club favorite.

For the lyrics in english, go here: http://www.transbuddha.com/index.php/weblog/extended/dschinghiskhan/

For the video, go here: http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=6287

If you want the song, just search for moskau.mp3, it can be found on many sites for free, and some for pay. If you can find the english one, please let me know, I'd like to get it again. In fact, I probably still have it, I just have no idea where it is.

There's even a russian version of it, although, the german one is BY FAR the best one out there.

I can't remember where the website is for that one, although, it's not so hard to find. Again, search for moscow.mp3 (the english way to spell it this time), and you should be able to find it on a site that is in russian.

Hi there, sorry for replying this late in the conversation. I just ran into your site. Nicely done (BTW). I think Dschingis Khan was a "designer band" with a production team behind it. As I got it they were founded to compete in one of the yearly Eurovision Song Contests.

I once heard an instrumental version of it, and the orchestral production sounded different, too. Anyone knows the versio nof that song?

Moskau was even translated and re-recorded by several finnish artists and became a huge succes in the late 70´s. Weird isnt it. Though the artists changed Moscow to Volga, and added sum humour to it. yeah, we all need more songs like this ;)

I found the English version of the song! It is located here: http://www.dazedweb.com/misc/Moscow-GenghisKhan.mp3

You all must give me a dollar.

I found a heavy metal version of this song at http://moskau1979.ytmnd.com/ but it's only a small clip.

It seems as though this link http://www.dazedweb.com/misc/Moscow-GenghisKhan.mp3 is now dead, does anyone know where i could find the english version?

I got the Enlgish Version. It can be found right here: http://home.ripway.com/2005-6/330355/Moskau(EnglishVersion).MP3

(Please try not to go to the link too much; after so many hits, the link will close)

You may now shower me with gifts.

hey i just discovered this song. but all the english links seem to be dead. is there maybe just one more

I've got the English version up here: http://rapidshare.de/files/5571877/Moscow.MP3.html And the Russian version here: http://rapidshare.de/files/5229573/Moscow__Russian_.mp3.html

The links are good indefinately. Assuming at least 1 person downloads it a month, which I doubt will be a problem.

I first heard this tune at my school music camp. It's a tradition at the end of the disco held there, they play moscow, and everyone makes a circle and does the russian can-can sorta dance thingy... blah!

Thanks to this blog, i worked out it's real name (as the qualitity of the tape that moscow is on, you can't tell its german).

I even worked out how to play this tune on the keyboard. How bored am I?

http://rapidshare.de/files/5229573/Moscow__Russian_.mp3.html - is not original song in Russian, but rather a parody of the original song. It is pretty recent, mentioning Putin and other current (?) Moscow funny stuff. I don't have time to translate all lyrics though. :)

Actually, there were at least couple original song parodies within Soviet Union in 1980's too. Mostly with political anti-Soviet bent: "Nobody will come to Moscow, everybody will boycott (the Olympics)", "We'll bomb (the city) and build lagerya on top of Kremlin ruins" and so on. :)

Brilliant guys. Love the links. Had been looking for the english version for some time. First time I've used rapidshare - a wonderful invention!

Just ask for Moscow Lyrics and then it's by ghengis Kahn instead of dsigingis kahn.

I have the full Deutsch 6:01 track. If someone would like me to send it to them, either hit me up on msn, aim, or if you have g-mail, i can send it that way too. heres my contact info

glad to help ^^

I have looked far and wide for a legit english version of the song. The only place which has it is at www.mp3search.ru but you have to pay $20US minimum to join. You can get the german version on ituns though.

Anyone know where I can get a legit version of this song without buying the album??? Please also email me the response

there is also a danish and korean version i will find the link if you want

The Rapidshare link above work. I just now got the English version of the song. Thanks.

Whoops! I forgot my name. ^^;

Hi! Is any one know were I can find video Kabaret duet Akademy song is "I'm mad at you" or "Ya na tebia obidelas'"? I only saw it once on MTV, and I loved it!

The english version is sung by a band called "Brazilian Genghis Khan", from Brazil.

I gotta say this song is the most catchy tune in the world. Pretty much every time online games or communities allow uploading of music to compliment an animation or something, SOMEONE will make an animation for this. It's pretty funny!

Does anyone where I can download the video? (German Version will be fine)

This a german blog where you can find the original version in german, just click on "Moskau" and download. Plus you can find an AMV involving this song in youtube, the anime is bleach and it's very funny ^^ Enjoy

Hello all.

Whatever you need you can download using Peer2Peer software (shorter P2P, like e-Mule, LimeWire, BitComet, DC++...). Just input the name of file (song, video...) in search field and that software will find everything what is connected with that query (mp3, mpeg... types of files). Just right click and download.

It is not possible that "today" someone can not find .mp3 or video file on Internet, using Google or any other search engine.
