Russia’s greatest love machine
October 20th, 2005 by Bill
I confess, I love Boney M’s “Rasputin.” I could dance to it all night. Why do I like it? Because it is so marvellously stupid:
Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone.
Does it get sillier than that? Yes …
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear.
It’s like the Monty Python “Argument” sketch:
I’d like to by an argument.
No you don’t!
The point is … I love things silly and this song is in a class of it’s own when you’re talking about silly. I love it.
Ra ra Rasputin …
