Boney M - Rasputin (1978)
“Rasputin“ is a 1978 disco hit single by the Germany-based pop and disco group Boney M., the second single off their hugely successful album Nightflight to Venus. The song is a semi-biographical song whose subject and namesake is Grigori Rasputin, a friend and advisor of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his family during the early 20th century. The song variously sensationalizes Rasputin as a playboy, mystical healer, and political demiurge.
“Rasputin“ is also distinctive for its incorporation of melody lines from a Serbian (“Ruse kose curo imaš“) and Turkish (“Üsküdar’a Gider İken / Kâtibim“) folk song, while the spoken line “Oh, those Russians“ at the end of the song mimics a line in Eartha Kitt’s recording of “Kâtibim“.
