I remember it.
Well, I do now.
Heh.

Groet, Erik

I believe you're thinking of Boney M's "Rasputin". (Which I actually kinda like in a cheeasy way).
That's not the one, though it's easy to get them confused - Boney M was also always heavy on the dress-up side.

Well, it's been ages and horror has many faces.

And there's always... the Goombay Dance Band.

Seemed to ME to be about a young dude whose brother was taking off to sort out the rest of his life... find peace... whatever... even if it meant leaving his family behind.

Guess I was wrong.

Very few of the songs mentioned so far in this thread could possibly complete with the odious:

Ok, stop it right there!

Eurosong is a whole other level of crappy. Regular pop music doesen't stand a chance if we let Eurosong contestants in.

Besides, I thought Rasputin was ABBA

Yeah, you're right... Nothing can compete with ESC on pure awfullness. Let's leave it at that. Just curious if anyone rememberered.

Rasputin is Boney M allright.

It slips to my mind that at those times (perhaps a bit later) we heard the first horrific examples of movie actors trying to make it in the music industry, but I can't really cough up any examples right now. Come on guys, help me out! Theres gotta be something here!

"She's Like the Wind" by-- get this-- Patrick Swayze.

Found on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, which also spawned other god-awful tracks like "Time of our Lives".

Greg

damned

The must really be something wrong with me.

I actually like 'she's like the wind'

'Time of our lives' on the other hand is unbearable.

Any of the songs with vocals from Robert Fripp's Exposure album. (Not the title track.) I can't remember the names of them now, but they are spectacularly bad.

Oh my God! Whose grave did you have to defile to dig up this?

Check out the dude in the green outfit

-VERY close, but it's not the one. It could very well be the same band though, keeping the russia/mongolia inpired theme... Godheavens know why?

Anything by Coldplay/Radiohead has that effect on me, they make my ring itch

Yeah it's not really a song - I don't recall him actually singing. More of a sort of slow talk or rap I guess - hey does that make Telly one of the pioneers of rap?

I know enough to understand that it's mostly about Moscow and swilling vodka... If I was russian I'd sure need a couple of bottles to withstand this insult! Come to think of it, i'd need a whole barrel!
