Appearing at the height of the disco boom and following on the heels of other German-produced bands such as Boney M., Arabesque, and Silver Convention, the band achieved wide popularity throughout the world, especially in Europe, Russia, and Japan, though they went wholly unnoticed in the United States. Their songs invariably were themed on historical figures and exotic cultures and locales.
Though the group broke up in the mid-1980s, it has enjoyed a recent resurgence in popularity on the internet due to a video of them performing their hit song Moskau being discovered. The video and the song associated with it have become a popular topic on blogs and websites.
The original members of the group were:
* Steve Bender (1942-2006)
* Wolfgang Heichel
* Henriette Heichel
* Leslie Mándoki
* Edina Pop
* Louis Hendrik Potgieter (1951-1993)
The band re-formed in late 2005, with Stefan Track replacing Potgieter as the "Khan" character. They performed at the Olympiyski Arena in Moscow on October 17, 2005. On May 7th, 2006, Steve Bender (the member famous for his bald appearance) died of cancer.
The band, now under the name "The Legacy of Dschinghis Khan", has a tour scheduled for Winter 2006 - Fall 2007. In the tour, their show will consist of "Cirque du Dschinghis Khan", featuring other performers, including Mongolian circus acts. Their announced dates are listed on the official website of the group and are subject to change. Their planned German national tour dates in January 2007 will coincide with the release of their latest as-of-yet untitled LP and DVD. It will be their first release since 1999's "Die Großen Erfolge".
Their songs appear in the video games Taiko No Tatsujin, Pop'n Music, and Stepping Selection.

Dschinghis Khan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und einer ritt voran, dem folgten alle blind, Dschingis Khan (Haa, Huu, Haa)
Die Hufe ihrer Pferde durchpeitschten den Sand
Sie trugen Angst und Schrecken in jedes Land
Und weder Blitz noch Donner hielt sie auf (Huu, Haa)
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Reiter - Ho Leute - He Reiter - Immer weiter!
Auf Brüder! - Sauft Brüder! - Rauft Brüder! - Immer wieder!
Lasst noch Wodka holen (Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho)
Denn wir sind Mongolen (Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha)
Und der Teufel kriegt uns früh genug!
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Reiter - Ho Leute - He Reiter - Immer weiter!
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Männer - Ho Männer - Tanzt Männer - So wie immer!
Und man hört ihn lachen (Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho)
Immer lauter lachen (Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha)
Und er leert den Krug in einem Zug (Haa, Huu, Ha, Hu, Huu, Haa, Hu, Ha, Hu, Huu, Haa, Hu, Ha, Hu)
Und jedes Weib, das ihm gefiel, das nahm er sich in sein Zelt (Haa, Huu, Haa)
Es hieß, die Frau, die ihn nicht liebte, gab es nicht auf der Welt (Haa, Huu, Haa)
Er zeugte sieben Kinder in einer Nacht
Und über seine Feinde hat er nur gelacht
Denn seiner Kraft konnt keiner widerstehen (Huu, Haa)

The song "Dschingis Khan" by the group Dschinghis Khan tells the story of the great Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan (Dschingis Khan in German). The lyrics depict his army of 1000 men relentlessly riding across the steppe, facing no obstacles in their path. The chorus urges his army to keep going, drinking and fighting along the way. Genghis Khan himself is portrayed as a fearless leader with immense power, fathering seven children in one night and taking any woman he desired. The song ends with Genghis Khan laughing and emptying his cup, seemingly invincible.
The lyrics are rich in historical references, portraying Genghis Khan as a symbol of strength and power. The hordes of Mongol warriors were renowned for their horsemanship and fighting ability, and the song captures this spirit. The repetition of "Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan" in the chorus, along with the "Haa, Huu, Haa" and "Huu, Haa" chants, creates a hypnotic and rousing effect, echoing the sound of galloping horses and the war cries of the Mongol warriors.
