Genghis Khan’s Classic and Popular Songs (1–10)
Tut Ench AmunGenghis Khan
This number is themed around the boy-king pharaoh of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty.
Many aspects of his life and related facts remain shrouded in mystery, and his existence still attracts intense attention today.
Let’s listen to his extraordinary fate arranged in the Genghis Khan style.
Machu PicchuGenghis Khan
Genghis Khan features the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire.
The Inca Empire was a nation built by the Quechua people centered in Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador, and is also known as a civilization without writing.
The chorus, as if proclaiming “Let it reach Machu Picchu,” which is a World Heritage Site, leaves a strong impression.
Rockin son of Dschinghis KhanGenghis Khan
The Japanese title “Son of Genghis Khan” is themed around Genghis Khan’s actual son.
It introduces the son—who’s a rock ’n’ roller and a drummer like Ringo Starr—at a lively tempo.
It’s an entertaining track featuring a playful interplay between Cossack dance and rock ’n’ roll.
Genghis Khan’s classic and popular songs (11–20)
Aim for MoscowGenghis Khan
This is a song that enjoyed immense popularity in online communities in the early 2000s.
A craze sparked by mondegreens—people finding humor in a completely unfamiliar language—took off, and when video-sharing sites became popular in the late 2000s, it drew attention again through “I tried dancing” videos that imitated its comical and peculiar choreography.
Billy The KidGenghis Khan
It’s a song about the life of Billy, a lonely hitman who died young at 21.
Having lost his parents early, Billy could only survive as a killer.
Isolated from others, he forged a heart as unyielding as rock.
He committed many sins and died, yet the song mournfully declares that no one can atone for those sins.
KontikiGenghis Khan
The Kon-Tiki is a large raft with a mast and a cabin, built in 1947 by the Norwegian anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl and his team.
Heyerdahl published the Kon-Tiki Expedition account in 1948, summarizing the drift voyage, and this song is sung with ideas drawn from that account.
In the lyrics, Heyerdahl’s name is also repeatedly invoked.
AladdinGenghis Khan
Included on the 1981 album “Wir sitzen alle im selben Boot,” known in Japan as “Hero Aladdin.” It’s a wistful number set to a melancholic melody that conveys the sense of emptiness lying beyond the fulfillment of every wish.
