It was a shame how he carried on.
Tony Hawks analysed the lyrics in his book "One Hit Wonderland" where he noticed that foreign groups can get away with terrible English in pop songs.
"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".
Moscow chicks? Such a lovely dear??
"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".
Great stuff!

How can a group that had a string of enormous megahits like "The Rivers of babylon", "Mary's Boy Child", Brown Girl in the Ring", and probably the greatest of them all "Ma Baker", in Britain, Germany and most of Europe, for that matter, be called "One Hit Wonders"?
OK, now I understand. It was written in the 20 minutes after their first song was a hit, when it was in fact true...

The book "One Hit Wonderland" is about the author Tony Hawk's attempts to get a second hit after he was a one hit wonder in the 80's with "Stutter Rap" by Morris Minor and the Majors.
He mentioned Boney M as a sideline about lyrics, nothing to do with their number of hits.

A St. Petersburg museum has on display a 30cm penis which they claim to have belonged to Rasputin. While it has not been proven that the penis is authentic, legend spoke of Rasputin's physical oddity prior to the artifact having surfaced in the 1990's. The current owners claim that the item changed hands more than once before it was put on public display. ...[text shortened]... Grigori_Rasputin
You show me a penis that hasn't changed hands more than once so to speak.
Well it's a beast.
