Dschinghis Khan
Dschinghis Khan (known in some countries as Genghis Khan) is a German (former West Germany) pop band originally formed in 1979 to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. The group's name was taken from the title of their song, "Dschinghis Khan", which was written and produced by Ralph Siegel with lyrics by Bernd Meinunger.
In 1980, their single "Moscow" (the English-language version of "Moskau") topped the charts in Australia and remained No. 1 for six weeks. Its success there had much to do with the Seven Network's use of the song as the theme music for their television coverage of the 1980 Summer Olympics. The Australian single was issued in a die-cut Channel 7 sleeve.
In an interview with Russian television presenter Alexandra Glotova, the producer of the group Dschinghis Khan, Heinz Gross, said that in the 1980s, the band was forbidden in the Soviet Union and was accused of anti-communism and nationalism.
While the group broke up in the mid-1980s, the German video for "Moskau" was a part of the show Disco on ZDF, as was the similarly-staged "Dschinghis Khan".

Tomatenrote Lippen
by: Edina PopTomaten
tomatenrote Lippen
sind ein Tick von dir.
Tomaten
tomatenrote Lippen
siehst du gern an mir.
Boing
Boing!
Die Augenlider lila
und die Fingernägel grün
ein Rosenblatt im Nabel
und im Haar weißen Jasmin.
Tomaten
tomatenrote Lippen
findest du so schön.
Ein Student mir Tanlent
ist mein Raphael
für mich ist er ein Genie.
So ein Mann
der was kann
der ist ein Juwel
denn er hat sehr viel Phantasie.
Er sieht die Welt in farben
in rosaroten farben.
Seine seelischen Reflexe
sind tausend bunte Kleckse.
Er hält sich für noch größer
als je Picasso war.
Ja
vieleicht wird er
ein Superstar.
