The lyrics of 2FM's song Rasputin are about Grigori Rasputin, a Russian mystic and advisor to the Tsar Nicolas II and his wife Alexandra. The song describes him as the "Lover of the Russian Queen" and "Russia's greatest love machine." The repetition of the phrase "Ra, ra, Rasputin" gives the song an energetic and upbeat feel, even though the lyrics are about a controversial historical figure. The line "There was a cat that really was gone" is likely a reference to Rasputin's assassination, where he was poisoned, shot, and finally drowned in a river.
