Their applause went on for almost a full minute, and who can blame the audience? An iconic moment, a song full of such unashamed fun, and the dancer certainly makes this. What a classic!

[@elgoog-the-third]

They're horrible singers though.

[@LRYMUSIC]

@@elgoog-the-third You clearly haven't heard them sing without a live orchestra

[@gathsfamily2866]

I think it never won because it pissed a conflict !! It was sang by the west about the east !!!! But it provided great soundtrack for james last classics at least ehh!!!!!

[@abeedhal6519]

@@gathsfamily2866 Lol by the west about the east? They are singing about a mongolian warlord in a child friendly manner. I don't think any big political party in the east identified with the mongols, besides in mongolia maybe.

It makes me laugh that this was considered highly inappropriate for Germany to send to Israel, and yet the audience are like YAAASSSS THIS IS AWESOME.

[@ponyclub3198]

Why was this inappropriate?

[@spannamatronic]

@@ponyclub3198 Germany sending a song about a brutal leader, to a contest held in Israel, possibly wasn't the most self-aware move. But the audience saw it for what it was - just fun!

Всем, кто пишет негативные комментарии - посмотрите более поздние выступления, когда группа спелась и станцевалась. Они были созданы в 79 году, и это реально на редкость неудачное выступление. Такое ощущение, что они вообще даже в ритм не попадают своими движениями. Я как-то специально смотрела большую подборку их видео и сейчас искренне удивлена, на самом деле они классные!

Genghis Khan (in)famously once said: "The greatest enjoyment of a man is to overcome his enemies, drive them before him, snatch what they have, to see the people to whom they are dear with their faces bathed in tears, to ride their horses, to squeeze in his arms their daughters and women."
