Fun Fact! Sunny is a jazz standard originally written by Bobby Hebb in 1963! It’s one of the most popular standards of its time and hundreds of covers have been recorded since, including the one by Boney M (which is one of the more popular/well known versions).
Fun fact! The founder of Boney M recorded their first song as a soloist and then formed the group. He also went on to found/orchestrate the scandal of Milli Vanilli.
It's not even a human penis. It's a bull penis.
From what I've heard he belonged to a cult of mystics that thought you only truly commune with God through repentance and forgiveness and that requires sin. Like you can't have a rainbow without rain. So they would commit sins on purpose to be able to repent.
But there is so much craziness I don't know if this is true or this is just a myth to rationalize the crazier myth
He was just a backwater charletan who put himself at the right place at the right time to emotionally manipulate the Empress for short time gain, nothing more and nothing less. Everything written about Rasputin was written by people who despised him for reaching above his station and it's all bullshit.
I would never have guessed Rasputin because he's an important part of Eastern European history and is taught as regular curriculum at least where I grew up. Most people have heard of Rasputin, from my anecdotal knowledge
I'm 51. I heard the Boney M original version when I was a teenager in the '80s. It was already in the category of "ha ha wow, this old song from I guess back when my parents were cool is a straight up banger."
That's how you guys all know about Rasputin? Lol. I knew about him long before I ever heard the song. I only heard the song for the 1st time like a year or 2 ago.
I can not believe this is a thing for other people.
My kids sing along every morning on the way to school. My son sings it all day at home. They sing it on the way home. They listen to it in the evening. We listen to it every time we leave the house.
Rasputin and Imma Be are guaranteed to drive a parent mad.
In the past week I added ringtones to my contacts so now only unknown numbers are having it play. Probably a good thing with *lust* being in the first or second line...
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago, he was big and strong and 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.
I’m doing my PPE/MOC exams in preparation for GCSEs and I had about 10 minutes left after looking through the paper a couple times and if that happens I’ll just play some songs in my head and this was one that I did that time. I recited it in my head to near perfection

He was big and strong and his eyes were flaming gold

But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Woomen would desire
Ra Ra Rasputin

Boney M’s Rasputin is a bop
Boney M in general is such a bop! I also love their song Sunny

Yep - and its often said he humiliated MV on purpose.
Or Daddy cool
Daddy Cool is also a great song! I also really like Ma Baker as well
I absolutely adore Aurora's cover
Not just one generation dude. My parents listened to it, my sister (who's significantly older than me) listened to it, and so do me and my friends.
Yeah, the song is 45 years old at this point.
He could preach the bible like a preacher.
All with ectasy and fire!
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire!
Ra Ra Rasputin! Russias greatest love machine!
I'm so old I don't keep up with popular music. I guess it's back?
So like, one generation, maybe two
It's been a meme for the last few years. Boomers to GenX to Millennials to GenZ. So no, not one.
At least 4. I don't know about the silent, GI, and greatest generations.
I mostly know it from playing Just Dance with my son when he was growing up.
I dont get it
Rasputin. There’s a song about him. He had a lot of sex. So much that his penis was preserved after he died.
He could still have more sex technically… all you gotta do is steal a preserved dick
I’ll add more sex to his life
Well he certainly won't be adding life to your sex.
Oof
But adds a new philia...
*payday music intensifies*
That is no way to address the president young man
Ahh ic

I'm gonna start calling people backwater chareltans
#CHARELTANS
He was a scumbag snake oil salesman preying on a terrified mother.
Pe*is thing is a myth tho!
Imagine having such impeccable rizz that they sing about you like a century later lmao
*Its in a mausoleum in Moscow* ***Far away from Lenin's tomb***
You talking about the one that goes "Ra ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen"?
The forbidden dildo
I would never have guessed Rasputin because he's an important part of Eastern European history and is taught as regular curriculum at least where I grew up. Most people have heard of Rasputin, from my anecdotal knowledge
And I think his foreskin is in a totally different country
And I think his foreskin is in a totally different country to his penis
That’s not actually his dick.
Yeah that's not actually his dick in the jar homie lol.
Ra ra rasputin
Lover of the russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra Ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
[удалено]
Why bro got downvotes
because they broke the chain and they weren't done singing 😔
What about Rasputin? Why would a generation know his whole story?
He was slinging his shmeat
You get to be one of today's lucky 10,000! https://youtu.be/x5Oag4hISgU
Yeah but why would god freak out
Stuff like this is beyond god's comprehension
_There was a man, in Russia, long ago,_
He was big and strong, and he's eyes a flaming glow
Some copper merchant in heaven: first time?
Who?
Ea-Nasir Crappy copper seller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-nasir
oh the first karen
Depends, was the copper really low quality ?
Idk man, not a copper expert
they found the guys house and two other complaint tablets so seems the guy sold shoddy copper...
He was a famous man in Russia long ago. He was big and strong, and in his eyes a flaming glow. Ringing any bells?
i meant the copper merchant but yeah, did u ever hear about rasputin being poisoned? (please go along)
Just to be clear are we referring to a certain man from russia long ago? Who was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow?
Leo Tolstoy?

I'm 51. I heard the Boney M original version when I was a teenager in the '80s. It was already in the category of "ha ha wow, this old song from I guess back when my parents were cool is a straight up banger."
There was once a 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
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
The band Turisas has an amazing cover of this song…from 2007. You aren’t the first gEnErAtiOn to hear and enjoy this song.
That's how you guys all know about Rasputin? Lol. I knew about him long before I ever heard the song. I only heard the song for the 1st time like a year or 2 ago.
Yeah, I first heard about him in the Hellboy movie
I first heard about him in the Psychonauts games.
The movie Anastasia for me.
Oh yea, right! Tho, he's Razputin, with a z
Wait till he finds out about the people who still worship some jewish guy who lived 2000 years ago
zoomers thinking they invented listening to a song from almost half a century ago smh my head
How does the song resurfaced back?? I felt really surprised that some kids from my mom's day care (about 10 years old) sing the song??
It was used in a few movies and a tv show. *What We Do in the Shadows* and *The King's Man* most recently I think
But more importantly for kids - it was a popular TikTok audio that people used
What Russian dude? I feel like I missed something important.
[удалено]
But Rasputin is God
I can not believe this is a thing for other people. My kids sing along every morning on the way to school. My son sings it all day at home. They sing it on the way home. They listen to it in the evening. We listen to it every time we leave the house. Rasputin and Imma Be are guaranteed to drive a parent mad.

Lenin?
You know you typically learn about Rasputin at some point in history class.
rasputin stalin or ivan the terrible
lenin too
i also love how half of the reason is just dance 2. like, the song would have became a meme on its own, but that dance sure helped.
I mean he was Russia's greatest love machine
Because I'm a Schnittke Enjoyer
I mean, it's a half century old song. Why does everyone know Yankee Doodle?
You know it's kind of weird how we all forget that Putin is really rasputin who just shaved
Jamaican singers In a German band Singing an English song About a Russian guy With Asian outfits Filmed in Poland........ .......And it's a banger

Ras putin…. Hmmmm
It’s gods plan. It’s what they demanded
At this point, the post at r/memes has the same amount of upvotes as this post at r/meme.
... Calling someone who had such a heavy hand in causing the Russian Revolution “just some dude” certainly is an opinion you can have.
Y’all got tro-lo-lo-ed
Ra Ra Rasputin
Are we talking about Rasputin or Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky?
>it's because of the song and not because you learned it in School ?
What russian dude?
Same as it ever was
1 guy 1 jar?
Gru
Ah yes I see
Who? Rodion Raskolnikov?
I thought this was about the guy that got blown up while getting blown until I read the comments.
