Oh my word! Just when you think you've seen/heard it all..."Ooh! Aah!" The album photo kind of looks like a Teutonic combination of Devo, the B-52s, and Parliament's The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein. And who is that tall guy supposed to be, a space-age, Aryan version of the famous Mongolian in question? No wonder the Germans lost two world wars...

I'll take a wild guess (left to right): Louis Potgieter (died in 1993), Henriette Strobel Heichel (?)*, Laszlo "Leslie" Mandoki (now a solo artist), Edina Pop (?)*, and Wolfgang Heichel. Wolfgang and the two women are the only original members still performing as Dschinghis Khan. The bald guy in the video (Steve Bender) died a few years ago.

Oh, he likes to make us think that he digs 1920's dance orchestras, but I for one am not surprised.

As I was a teen in the late '70s - early '80s I admit that there is a slight undeniable Disco/'80s New Wave element in my musical tastes. And back then I was a Devo fan. lol

*I'm not sure which one is which

Geesh, now I can't get that song out of my head. It reminds me of the song from this Russian commercial.

Terrible, just terrible! And how about the cape and false beard on the male lead? :eusa_clap What is it about German pop that can do this to even Jamaican singers? They remind me of the group Eruption...

I am a child of the '70s so for me the worst of all time is Muskrat Love by The Captain and Tennille
