But at night, listening to the glasses clinking
da flie?t der Krimsekt in Str?men

"Moskau" by Dschinghis Khan, Koch Music Records' May 11, 2007 album 7 Leben'.
Dschinghis Khan is a German pop band that emerged from the 1979 Eurovision Song Contest. The band took its name from the song they performed at the contest, composed by Ralf Schiegel with lyrics by Bern Meinonger.
The band disbanded in the 1980s, but is still well known today because a video of one of their songs, Moskau, has been widely circulated on the Internet. The movie and its associated song became a popular topic of discussion on weblogs, and some people modified them to sound like empty-earth, hallucinatory lyrics, an example of the phenomenon of the Internet exploding in popularity.
