Introduction
As the name suggests, it is in praise of the titular Mongol warrior, with verses extolling his military ("and about his enemies he only laughed / because nobody could resist his strength") and sexual ("he fathered seven children in one night") prowess. Indeed, the entirety of his band are the subjects of this paean, being described as exceptional drinkers with a devil-may-care attitude to life ("and the devil gets us early enough").
On 31 March 1979, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem hosted by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority (IBA), and broadcast live throughout the continent. Dschinghis Khan performed their song ninth on the night, following Switzerland's "Trödler und Co" by Peter, Sue & Marc and Pfuri, Gorps & Kniri and preceding Israel's "Hallelujah" by Milk and Honey. Norbert Daum conducted the event's live orchestra in the performance of the German entry.[4] At the close of voting "Dschinghis Khan" had received 86 points, placing fourth in a field of nineteen.
