Só falta a bolinha nas letras ou uma cor a acompanhar a canção para ser o próximo sucesso de uma qualquer festa japonesa (estereótipo xenófobo segundo o qual os japoneses gostam de karaoke mais do que os outros povos)

Não é coisa que não tenha já acontecido. :D

"Moskau is a single by the German dance-act Dschinghis Khan. Its original release was in 1979, but in 2004 Moskau became a surprise hit on the Internet due to the sharing of a performance of the song from the group's glory days. Blogging viewers of the video commented that the wild disco dances, retro instrumentation, and happy German vocals are hilarious and oddly uplifting. The song and its video have become an internet fad.

In Japan, the song created a separate internet fad in 2005 from a Flash animation with nonsensical Japanese lyrics based on the original German being misheard as Japanese (see mondegreen). The original video and audio itself was "translated" into English by Buffalax on YouTube, as well.

The song was used as the theme song to the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow."
