Lyrics:

We are Children of Paradise
When the Lord created us
All his work was through
Then the Children of Paradise
Did the only thing
They really shouldn’t do

Children of Paradise
We started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care

We’re Children of Paradise
We knew of no crime
Until one of the meanest lines
Has changed our time

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel
No trouble, no grief

Children of Paradise
We started out there
Full of innocence in our eyes
And without a care

We’re Children of Paradise
In search of the light
That was put out in Paradise
And started the night

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity
They were meant to feel
No trouble, no grief

We are Children of Paradise
When the Lord created us
All his work was through
Then the Children of Paradise
Did the only thing
They really shouldn’t do

Aaahhh…

We’re Children of Paradise
Who didn’t obey
When we followed the wrong advice
We wandered astray

We’re Children of Paradise
In search of the light
That was put out in Paradise
And started the night

It was long ago
In the early morning glow
When it all began
With Adam and Eve
They were young and free
And for all eternity…

Lyrics:

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia’s greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she’d heard the things he’d done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia’s greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
For power became known to more and more people
The demands to do something about this outrageous
Man became louder and louder

“This man’s just got to go!” declared his enemies
But the ladies begged “Don’t you try to do it, please”
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they’re not to blame
“Come to visit us” they kept demanding
And he really came

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia’s greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said “I feel fine”

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn’t quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia’s greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

Oh, those Russians…

Lyrics:

FREEZE! I’m Ma Baker – put your hands in the air,
gimme all your money

– This is the story of Ma Baker, the meanest cat
from ol’ Chicago town

She was the meanest cat
In old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat
She really moved them down
She had no heart at all
No no no heart at all

She was the meanest cat
Oh she was really tough
She left her husband flat
He wasn’t tough enough
She took her boys along
‘cos they were mean and strong

Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – but she knew how to die

They left a trail of crime
Across the U.S.A.
And when one boy was killed
She really made them pay
She had no heart at all
No no no heart at all

Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – but she knew how to die

she met a man she liked
she thought she’d stay with him
one day he formed with them
they did away with him
she didn’t care at all
just didn’t care at all

– Here is a special bulletin.
Ma Baker is the FBI’s most wanted woman.
Her photo is hanging on every post office wall.
If you have any information about this woman,
please contact the nearest police station…

– Don’t anybody move! The money or your lives!

One day they robbed a bank
it was their last foray
the cops appeared too soon
they couldn’t get away
and all the loot they had
it made them mighty mad
and so they shot it out
Ma Baker and her sons
they didn’t want to hang
they died with blazing guns
and so the story ends
of one who left no friends

Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – but she knew how to die

Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – but she knew how to die

Playlist Disco 70’s

Disco is a genre of dance music and a cultural movement that emerged in the 1970s from the urban nightlife of the United States, defined by its club-oriented rhythms, emphasis on producers, and close relationship with mass media. Artists such as Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, the Bee Gees, Chic, KC and the Sunshine Band, Thelma Houston, Sister Sledge, the Trammps, Village People, and Michael Jackson came to symbolize the sound and image of the era. While singers and performers occupied the spotlight, it was often record producers working behind the scenes who shaped the genre’s sonic identity. Films like Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Thank God It’s Friday (1978) helped push disco into the global mainstream — a process that also opened the door for European studio projects such as Boney M. to translate the language of disco into a distinctly international form.

Boney M.: between disco, the studio, and European pop culture

Boney M. occupies a peculiar place in the history of popular music in the 1970s. Often remembered for their catchy choruses and extravagant aesthetic, the group is frequently treated in a superficial way — either as mere television entertainment or as an artificial product of the disco era. This view, however, ignores both the historical context and the real impact of their music.

Created by producer Frank Farian, Boney M. was, above all, a studio project, something common in European disco music at the time. The separation between those who recorded the vocals and those who performed live later generated controversy, but this was not an exception within the logic of the disco industry, which prioritized rhythm, repetition, and sonic efficiency over the idea of an “organic band” inherited from rock culture.

Musically, the group fits clearly within the disco universe, with steady 4/4 beats, pulsating bass lines, and arrangements designed for the dance floor. Songs such as “Daddy Cool”, “Ma Baker”, and “Rasputin” fulfill exactly this function: they are songs made for movement, not introspection. At the same time, they carry a strong pop melodic sense, which helped expand disco beyond the clubs.

The reason Boney M. appears less frequently in many classic disco narratives is related less to the music itself and more to the cultural construction of the genre, which is often centered on the United States and on specific social and geographic contexts. As a representative of Eurodisco, the group ended up being treated as peripheral, despite its enormous international success.

Seen today, Boney M. represents well the more accessible and global face of disco music: less tied to the underground club scene and more connected to mass culture, television, and the European market. Recognizing this does not diminish the group — on the contrary, it helps place them in their proper position as a legitimate, efficient, and historically relevant pop-disco phenomenon.
