One of the reasons it is so good, is that it is actually fairly accurate. Of course it is speculation whether or not Rasputin had an affair with the empress. He also did not simply shrug off being poisoned and died a gruesome death. There is a lot of discussion that the murderers had a lot of interest in upholding the legend of the unkillable man both to legitimize their actions against an unholy being as well as to increase the clout they might get.

But on a very surface level it's a good retelling of a remarkably odd tale out of history.

Our class danced to it on prom 4 years ago and since then everytime i hear it in a club (or anywhere really) you bet im busting out the moves!

This was my toddler's very favorite song for about a month. We found an old copy of Night Flight to Venus on vinyl and damn near wore a groove in it. Every time I tried to put another record on the turntable, she'd get really worried and I'd have to promise to put Boney M back on when I was done.

She still gets really happy every time she hears one of the songs on the record, but we don't have to only listen to songs on it now (that honor goes to Rattlesnake by King Gizzard.)
