Turisas - Rasputin

Rasputin --- by Turisas
--Lyrics--
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder.
"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said "I feel fine"
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
Oh, those Russians...

[@comradedog7144]

[@DB-cn6rw]

Don't forget at his funeral he started to move while he was getting cremated so a guy got up and shot him again. It was likely due to some muscles contracting from getting burned or his nature as an elder god

Rasputin didn't die. He just went away for a while, dropped Ras, and came back as Putin.

It gets better.
"Ras Putin" would mean "First Putin" in Russian.

Ha!
Funny but I believe Rasputin was actually a pascifist.

[@turkelafandiyev]

George Smaga
actually not. sorry. it can mean "one putin", when you do counting i.e., "raz (1) putin, dva (2) putin, tri (3) putin". "Raz" means something like "one more".

[@bkaneshiro14]

So. What you're telling me. Is that.
A Finnish metal band covered a song in English originally sung by a German/Carribean group from the late 70s about a legendary Russian.

Fun fact, they ditched his body in a lake, and, upon further discovery, his cause of death was reported to be one of drowning, so no, they didn't shoot him til he was dead. They got tired and drowned him instead.

[@frantic26__45]

Well, to be presice it was river (Neva) and what's more important, it's just myth - official autopsy says nothing about water in his lungs or anything what could indicate on drowning :)
Just an myth - but an inspiring one :D

He was shot in the head. He died before he hit the water. Any claims that he was still alive was likely just convulsions
