Dschinghis Khan was the German entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1979 in Jerusalem performed by the group of the same name. It was written by Bernd Meinunger and Ralph Siegel, who would go on to be one of Eurovision's most prolific songwriting teams. An up-tempo, flamboyant disco number akin to the song "Rasputin" by Boney M., the song told the story of the legendary Mongol barbarian and his many conquests. This is only one of two songs in Eurovision history to have the same title as the group performing it, the other being Love City Groove for the United Kingdom in 1995.
