[@AngelDReacts]

Hey everyone! This video was blocked for a couple days, so I do not think it sends out notifications to subscribers when it get released? Maybe you can let me know!

[@lroke2947]

BTW: The song was hugely popular in the former USSR. Except that it's last line (not played in Sopot) was banned.

This guy had Hammer pants before there were even Hammer pants ! I remember this was a hit when I was a kid back in 1980 for me. A Carribean member band formed back in Germany . The guy has so much energy that I was exhausted just watching this guy back then and even now . A massive world wide hit back then except in the US . The guy has passed away now unfortunately .

Showing my age, but the first 45 I ever bought with my own money. 🕺🏼

[@JTQA_Tester]

The guy dancing wasn't actually singing, but the vocals were pre-recorded by the producer.

Russia's greatest love machine was based on a true story. ... As in, they still have Rasputin's **** in a museum. Never mind the rest of him, just his ****.

[@AngelDReacts]

This can't be true! LOL! What the heck?!

Yes the mueseum of erotica, but there's no evidence it was his or is what's claimed, two others were debunked, one was a sea cucumber and the other being from a bull.

This song has always been one to get the people on their feet You say the name right

[@Sailor_91]

Bony m himself did not go on stage. The man on stage did not sing. He was just a dancer hwo was mimiking/ using playback.

[@AngelDReacts]

Oh wow, really?! How come, I wonder? That is so interesting, thank you xo

[@Sailor_91]

@@AngelDReacts just as "milli vanilli" was fake.

[@lroke2947]

Yup, the male voice was Frank Farian, the band's producer. A white German guy wouldn't really have fit in with the rest of the cast on stage.

[@colinstevens2691]

Check out Daddy Cool , it’s my favourite song by Boney M. Another absolute banger 😊

[@TomTom-qm4mq]

That's Russia greatest love machine. Digging the parachute pants. I'm not sure why I find this so entertaining. Angel, where do you find this stuff? If I get this song stuck in my head, it's all your fault. All I can say Angel is wow. I'd say wooo. But that's your line.

[@AngelDReacts]

Ha you can say woo.. i hereby grant permission lol

[@vakhv2493]

wow, really??? they were direct competitors of ABBA at the time! wildly popular everywhere in the world... except USA :)

[@TomTom-qm4mq]

​@@vakhv2493 Might be why I never heard of them. I'm in the U.S.

[@lroke2947]

@@vakhv2493 Indeed -- ABBA, Baccara and Boney M were like the holy trinity back in the day. Mid-1970's, FWIW. Wherever you went where they played music from a tape deck back then, it was a mix of these three or their LP's one after another.

Every wants a gram or two of what’s he’s on

[@thierryforeau-fenier3933]

all that was a swindel, it was a white guy who sang that and after, the black just had to lip sync.

[@vakhv2493]

I like it how Polish cameramen were showing everything buy the actual band members. Really lousy job :)

[@stevenclarke5606]

These guys were total fakes , they never sang on any records or performances , they were just a front for a German Producer, who used session musicians, so that he kept most of the money

[@gesundheit602]

The same producer that later did the same with Milli Vanilli..

[@lamaglama6231]

Two of the background singers did actually sing. Only one of the background singers and the male front man were for the looks
