The original singer of the song, "Genghis Khan", was a German singing group founded in 1979 and disbanded in 1985, when they became popular in German-speaking areas, Eastern Europe, Australia and Asia, Japan. The band consisted of six members: Steve Bender, Wolfgang Heichel, Henriette, Heichel, Leslie Mandoki, Edina Pop and Louis Hendrik Potgieter (1951-1996).
"Dschinghis Khan," which was adapted into Mandarin and Cantonese songs with countless cover versions, was widely sung in China, and two of my favorite super-German groups in my middle school years, besides the Modern Word Group, were them.
Also in the early 80's they had a famous Russian-flavored dance song "Moscow" that was also widely circulated, and the first time I heard a version of it was the 90's cover of Lin Zixiang's "World Fortune in Moscow" (Lin Zixiang covered three of Genghis Khan's compositions).
When Strawberry Kobo's 16th album came out in March 2008, which featured a cover of Genghis Khan, a popular song in China in the 1980s, the teenage girls grew up. The oldest is 17, the youngest 14, but still innocent.
