  • Dschinghis Khan also known as Genghis Khan for Australian record buyers, achieved one hit wonder status downunder when 'Moscow' (originally in German and under the title 'Moskau') became a #1 hit around the time of the Russian Olympics in 1980. The song was first issued the year prior, but the Seven Network in Oz, broadcasting the summer games, used the English version to promote the event, and the song went gangbusters; spending 6 weeks at the top and debuted at the top spot in Sydney; a feat virtually unheralded in 1980, but something of a common occurrence these days. The song shipped Platinum; and was the 16th best seller of 1980. I was not sure if I could cope with spending an hour listening to the irritatingly infectious chorus, as those few months it was so huge all those years ago, probably sufficed for a lifetime, but it was actually quite enjoyable to reconnect with this quirky disco hit, which for Australians was everywhere back then. I hope it brings back some fond memories for other Aussies, and for anyone else into pop music.

    Took me right back to Perth in 1980. I actually thought it was the theme song for the Moscow Olympics until today when I discovered it was just used by the Australian TV channels for the Olympics coverage! Love it, but I do prefer the German version.

    Nasci em 1.982 e em minha casa tinha esse compacto, comprado em Portugal em 1980 por meu avô.
    Durante minha infância eles ainda fizeram muito sucesso.
    Adorava vê-los na TV, decerto que o que eu via não era esse grupo original e sim o brasileiro que se apresentavam com frequência nos Programas do Bolinha.

    Came looking for this song to post on a Facebook thread about the 1980 Olympics.
    I was in primary school at the time in country Victoria (Australia), and the playground version of this song, referencing Mishka the giant bear which was the Olympic mascot, went:
    Moscow! Moscow!
    See the Russian teddy bear
    Dancing in his underwear
    Ah ha ha ha ha
    Hey!

Today my son (19 years of age) heard this song today for the first time and he couldnt help but dance to it too. Gotta luv the 80s for the range of dance music it produced :)

      Google- Nutzer This group were known for recording their own English translations to their songs.
      Recording this version in English is better than a straight translation on the German lyrics.
      This English version is a little more friendlier to Russia than what the German lyrics are.
