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.
Rocking Son of Dschinghis Khan
Dschinghis Khan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sein Vater ließ ihn holen.
Der Herrscher der Mongolen
war sauer und er fluchte auf den Sohn (Das war Zeit!)
Er rief, du bist missraten
und aus der Art geschlagen.
So was wie du erbt niemals meinen Thron (Tut uns Leid!)
Sein Vater schrie erbittert:
die halbe Welt und noch ein bisschen mehr (Weit und breit!)
Doch du sagst für den Krieg wärst du noch viel zu jung
Und haust auf deiner alten Trommel rum
`Cos I’m a Rocker I’m a Roller I’m a Rockin‘ Man.
Daddy let me have some fun
Yes I’m a Rocker I’m a Roller I’m a Rockin‘ Man
I’m singin‘ yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m singin‘ yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
He beats the fastest drum beneath the sun
(A scandal and a shame!)
`Cos I‘m the Rockin‘ Son of Dschingis Khan
Hu ha hu ha hu ha Kasatschok...
Er ist kein toller Reiter,
im Kopf hat er nur Weiber
Und sagt, das Kämpfen macht ihm keinen Spaß (Das ist wahr!)
Er will – das darf nicht wahr sein –
so gut wie Ringo Starr sein
Sein Vater fragt erschreckt, wer ist denn das (Ringo Starr?)
Und auch beim Kampf der Krieger
ist er nur zweiter Sieger
Sein Vater ist vor Scham und Ärger blass (Ein Skandal!)
Da rief der Sohn, jetzt hört mich bitte auch mal an.
Heut‘ Nacht zeig‘ ich euch allen, was ich kann!

The lyrics to Dschinghis Khan's song "Rocking Son of Dschinghis Khan" tells the story of a young man who is the son of the ruler of the Mongolian Empire. His father is disappointed in him for not being a great fighter and rider like him, and instead, he is more interested in music and playing his drums. Though his father disapproves of his hobbies, the son decides to prove himself by putting on a show that will leave everyone in awe. In the end, his father sees that his son is talented in his own way and accepts him.
The song is a celebration of individuality and following one's passions despite societal expectations. The son is not afraid to be himself and break away from his father's expectations, and in the end, everyone is impressed by his skills. The lyrics are also a playful jab at traditional gender roles, as the son is more interested in music and women rather than fighting and conquest.

Instead of melancholia
The ruler of Mongolia
Was angry after meeting with his son
(What a sight!)
He said: It gets me raving
To see how you're behaving
One day you will be king and that's no fun
(He's so right!)
And so I'll have you know now
You'll have to get to know how
And learn how to be king and rule the land
(Day and night)
But you say fighting wars is only for the dumb
And all you ever do is play your drums!
'Cause I'm a rocker, I'm a roller, I'm a rockin' man
Daddy, let me have some fun
Yes, I'm a rocker, I'm a roller, I'm a rockin' man
I'm singin' yeah yeah, yeah yeah

He's not much of a fighter
He tries to be a writer
And says he'll leave the war up to the rest
(What a job!)
He'd like to drum and sing though just like his idol Ringo
His father said: My goodness, who is that?
(Ringo Starr!)
And when it comes to riding
He's likely to be hiding
And makes us all feel ashamed and bad
(What a shame!)
But then the boy said: Listen, dad, I'm not ashamed
Tonight I'll show you just how good I am!
'Cause I'm a rocker, I'm a roller, I'm a rockin' man
Daddy, let me have some fun
