That said, both versions are really fun. Ulaanbaatar was Örgöö, now it's Ulaanbaatar not Örgöö. Been a long time gone is Örgöö. How did Örgöö get the works, that's nobodies business but the Mongols. Doesn't flow at all... awe well permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 3 years ago I actually knew about the Four Lads version, my mom had a 45 of it when I was a kid that she got when she was a teenager in the 50s. The TMBG album came out around the same time I found that 45, so it was a nice bit of serendipity. She also had another Four Lads 45 that had this really racist song where they were doing stereotypical Chinese accents, but the less said about that the better. permalink fedilink source parent
