History Music / DschinghisKhan

** Think of it. Germans singing about a conqueror in Jerusalem. They somehow got away with all of it and came ''fourth''. [[And the Israelis found it ActuallyPrettyFunny to the point where the band was '' very '' popular in Israel. [[/note]]

* [[http://www.goear.com/listen.php?v=3e90e78 "What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor"]] - The only song theirs that only exists as an English version.

* SpiritualSuccessor : PowerMetal . Despite not beeing Metal, Dschingis Khan had all the badassery, [[RatedMForManly manlyness]] and Trueness of ancient warriors in their lyrics and outfits, we would later find in PowerMetal. And yes, they even did it before Music/{{Manowar}}.

* NiceHat: Louis Hendrick Potgieter tends to wear these. See the above picture, and in "Moskau", where he wears what looks ''exactly'' like [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind a Colovian fur helm]].

Steve Bender, "the bald one" that looks like [[Franchise/GIJoe Destro]], left the group in 1981 on the advice of his doctor and because of backpain, which made dancing hard for him; an unofficial version has it that he had some arguments with the producers. He returned for a reunion concert in 2005 (sans the [[BaldOfAwesome baldness]]), but died six months later from cancer.

* CompositeCharacter: "Loreley" gives its title character the backstory of the Clemens Brentano version of [[Myth/{{Lorelei}} the story]] (about a beautiful woman who has many pursuers but despairs at her inability to be with the man she actually loves), but rather than committing suicide, she takes on the EnthrallingSiren aspects of the Heinrich Heine version.

* BadassMustache: Leslie Mándoki
* BaldOfAwesome: Steve Bender
