And Now For Something Completely Different

I realize some of my posts ranging from The Wire, to even Buckethead have a semi-serious tone to them as I beg you to explore the edges of entertainment. To embrace what I have embraced. Well here we will go to another place and get even more serious. We will visit the 70's.

Allow me to introduce Dschinghis Khan, a pop/disco group created during the late 70's. They competed in the popular competition known as Eurovision. A competition that is still huge today. Their name is German for Genghis Khan. They were pretty big throughout Europe, Russia and Japan, but never made it in the United States. After breaking up in the 80's and with the death of lead singer Louis Hendrick Potgieter (the red dude) in 1993 it looked as if this group was destined to fade away. Until YouTube came along . . .

If you were bold enough to watch that, then you just witnessed a video that is impossible to watch just once. A video that is the best workout video. It will help you do that extra mile or push up. It is a video that will infect you and stick with you all day adding a spring to your step. It is a video that is simply put -- Entertainment. Yes folks, this is why the internet was invented.

To further challenge yourself watch the video with English Lyrics (contains some vulgarity and makes absolutely no sense) and the other hit song named after the group itself,Dschinghis Khann.

Thanks to their internet fad status the group has since reformed in 2005 and is once again on tour throughout Europe.

The band itself has an official site that I know many are dying to check out at: www.dschinghis-khan.com
