我同事很喜歡跟我推薦他那個年代的流行音樂, 讓我在陶醉於Lady Gaga的同時, 也可以欣賞一下古代文化 :P
在他的薰陶之下, 我聽了Yaki-Da, Ace of Base還聽了一堆有的沒的俄國團體. 今天他在跟我懊悔他又喝多的時候, 我不禁露出了不耐煩的表情說, "你明知道會控制不住, 幹嘛要開始"
我這個表情, 讓他想起了一句歌詞 "Oh, those Russians", 來自於西德團體的一首歌.
我看了Youtube, 覺得這首歌真得是太讚了!!

Rasputin by Boney M
歌曲很Disco, 裡面那個黑人男性非常投入, 感覺很爆笑(我真的無法抵擋搞笑藝人的魅力!!). 女生們都穿著俄羅斯的傳統服裝, 還跳著很Russian的舞步. 我同事問我說, 你知道真的有Rasputin這個人嗎? 我驚訝地說不知道, 接著他就開始跟我講了Rasputin的事情. 大概的故事就是, Rasputin是一個很神秘的人物, 在皇宮裡面很吃香, 因為受寵, 所以生活很淫亂. Rasputin連最後被人殺掉的經過也很神奇, 大家試了很多的方法殺他, 他都不死. 中文Wiki: HERE
Rasputin這首歌的歌詞也很有趣, 講了Rasputin的生平, 又提到了很亂的關係. 雖然是在講Rasputin, 但是一些keywords也很經典, 例如: Strong, Big, Love Machine, Ecstasy. 是的, 這就是Russians!!

There 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 ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women 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
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
(Spoken:)
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.
"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
(Spoken:) Oh, those Russians...
