Boney M

I'm writing this blog entry, to give you an insight in to why I like Boney M. I'm listening to another Boney M cover I found on the web. The song is Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday and this version has been done by band called Beach Patrol. I find it fun to listen to other groups, and hear their take on classic Boney M songs, except for the Cheeky Girls, as their cover version of Hooray! Hooray! Its A Holi-Holiday, renamed to Hooray! Hooray! Its A Cheeky Holiday ruined the song, especially with the different words they chose to use!

It seems strange to think that on the 8th November 1975, the day I was born, Boney M came in to being, in a record studio in Munich Germany. I guess that must be why I like their music so much, run a website and a Yahoo! Group (with 440+ members) all about them. Some of my friends think I am bankers for liking Boney M, but I think there music is great, and testament to that is the fact they are the only group with 2 songs in the top 10 best selling singles of all time in the UK, with Rivers of Babylon at no 4 and Mary's Boy Child at 10.

Here is a one of my favourite album covers from Boney M - it is the cover to Love For Sale. Amazingly this album only made it to number 60 in the UK charts, most of us Boney M fans think the cover was to blame, as the ladies from Boney M look naked, though, in fact they are wearing body stockings, considering the fact that the singles on the album all made the top 10, and the next album Nightflight To Venus was on chart for 65 weeks and made number 1.
