This morning’s odd question is why did Boney M make a song about Rasputin, and how did they end up sampling from a Turkish folk song as melody?

Why did they make songs about Chicago gangsters that never existed with obvious non-American announcers interjecting ? Who was "Daddy Cool"? I have many questions!

I stand enlightened & impressed. Now I need to figure out whether "Brown Girl in the Ring" was a non-normative expression of holistic cisgendered weltanschauung or some form of early transgressive Caribbean intersectionalism.
