Rasputin专辑介绍
"Rasputin" is a 1978 euro disco hit single by the Germany-based pop and euro disco group Boney M., the second from their album Nightflight to Venus. The song is a semi-biographical song about Grigori Rasputin, a friend and advisor of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his family during the early 20th century. The song variously sensationalizes Rasputin as a playboy, mystical healer, and political demiurge.
Finnish folk metal band Turisas recorded a cover of Rasputin, released on September 21, 2007 through Century Media. According to Warlord Nygard of Turisas, interviewed in Metal Hammer magazine he responded with: "There's a ferry route between Finland and Sweden where people go to buy cheap booze and get wasted. I was sitting there watching a band playing 70s disco covers. They blasted into "Rasputin," and I realised that it would fit perfectly for Turisas." The band has been playing the cover live for a few years and finally decided to record it because of the very positive feedback by the fans. A music video was shot as well.
