1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** Imagine, a German group and song named after a warlord, singing in Jerusalem. That went well, ''very well''.
3	** "Moskau," being the unofficial anthem of the 1980 Olympics.
4	* FanNickname:
5	** Mandoki has been called "[[{{WesternAnimation/Metalocalypse}} Murderface]]".
6	** Potgieter has been referred to as "Mister Disco" (in addition to "Dancing Santa Jesus") after a line in the bufflaxed version of Moskau, which [[YouDontLookLikeYou causes confusion]] when he wears something different besides his iconic [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DQrmFBWsssw/hqdefault.jpg costume]], like his cowboy costume when the group performs "Pistolero".
7	** The band itself is usually called "Russian Power Rangers" thanks to their colorful outfits. "German Power Rangers" if people are aware that they are a German band, not a Russian one.
8	* GagSub: A Youtuber known as ''Buffalax'' created mondegreen-laden subs of ''Moskau'', ''Dschinghis Khan'' and ''Samurai'', which spurned the Memetic Mutation mentioned below.
9	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The group is quite popular in Mongolia, for obvious reasons, and has a {{Camp}} CultClassic status in Israel and Russia, also for obvious reasons.
10	* MemeticMutation:
11	** Thanks to their hit song "Moskau", Americans and a new generation know of the weirdness that is German pop music.
12	** Poland's Worst Nightmare[[labelnote:Explanation]]They're a German band who dress as Mongols and sing a song about Russia, all of which have been enemies of Poland at some point in history.[[/labelnote]]
13	* NarmCharm: The costumes are cheesy and the lyrics are cheesier. That's part of the fun.
14	* SignatureSong: Pretty much everyone has heard of "Moskau" thanks to Youtube and MemeticMutation. However, in Israel, "Dschinghis Khan" is more well-known.
15	* SpiritualSuccessor: PowerMetal. Despite not being Metal, Dschingis Khan had all the badassery, manliness 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}}.
